Social Impact Theory

everything after we played. For example, my coach said to me, “Yes, we won again! Good job, you did really awesome serving, I felt so relieved every time you served on this court, easily passing the ball to another member, and dig (passes the ball which has been attacked by the opposition) when we were so close to losing to other team”.

But, I think most of the time, my team and I agreed with our group, (congruence). I personally think that the dynamic social impact theory has been demonstrated in the group is clustering. In the textbook, Forsyth wrote, “Clustering is more likely when (a) group members communicate more frequently with members who are close by and less frequently with more distant group members, and (b) if members can change locations to join similar others” (Forsyth, pg. 220).
