 * Entitativity is the perception of cohesiveness
 * __Cohesiveness -__  how strong a group actually is
 * __Entitativity -__ to the beholder, does it look like a group
 * __Types of groups (from handout: related to McGrath reading)__
 * Primary - Small, long-term groups characterized by a high frequency of interaction, cohesiveness, and member identification
 * ex: close friends, families, gangs, military squads
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Social - Small groups of moderate duration and permeability characterized by moderate levels of interaction over an extended period of time, often in goal-focused situations

> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Researchers want to develop theoretical linkages across different areas of group research to make the study of group more accurate and standardized in a way. There are some problems with this because groups differ in many ways. this article focused on beginning to form a framework for the study of groups. You can compare the entitativity of groups as one way to study them. Entitativity can affect someone's perception of the group and how powerful or potent you find the group. There are some things that can affect someone's perception of entitativity. > > > <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In the research they examined three variables as their framework for comparing groups: > > > > <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They also looked at the types of groups > > <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The last part talks about how you like your in groups more than your out groups typically. For this reason you can’t really judge the entitativity of your in group (membership effect)

I think it means the characteristics of the person viewing the group will affect their perceptions.

If you guys really want an overview of the studies I can write something up. I can’t guarantee that it will be very good because I don’t really understand all the results. Good luck guys! You can do it!

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Xerox (Taylor)/ MAC (Jobs)- alex

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Disney (Walt Disney)- Walt Disney was the face of the Disney Corporation, but there were more hard workers behind the scenes. Walt, like Jobs, did not recognize his helpers as much to develop a ‘name’ for the company. His brother was the financial man in the business and kept Walt’s visions in check. Also, it was his wife who drew Mickey Mouse as we see him today. Walt worked to improve his employees efforts by developing an art school where they improved technique. He also believed in specialization where one person would specifically draw a bunny and another would draw a deer. He was a perfectionist who rewarded his employees after a job well done (an all-expense paid vacation after Snow White, in fact).

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Black Mt. College (Rice)- Experimental college in NC; Open from 1933-1956; Focused on arts; Rice recruited Albers, an influential German teacher who taught hands-on; Rice was charismatic but narcissistic (unlike the leaders from the other great groups, who were mostly flawless); Olson was strong second leader; Olson introduced more literary studies; College failed due to money issue and other art schools opening.

The secrecy of the group, the sense of urgency (to beat the Germans), and the overall view of working toward something bigger than yourself made the group dynamic very focused. Most of the members loved Oppenheimer and his leadership style brought out the best in everyone.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This group varies from the others we talked about. This type of group is thrown together randomly for each assignment and must try to become cohesive very quickly. The group is also quite short lived. The captain Tom was identified as a very good leader because of his skill in creating bonds within the group. He listened to the suggestions of his group members and tried to make sure that everyone felt respected. The group encountered several problems during the four days they worked together but they handled all of them well because they were a good group.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Skunk Works- (Kelley Johnson - creator then Ben Rich - successor) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> - Lockheed formed a group of 23 elite engineers and 30 support people to make the newest spy planes. Work space made from plane part boxes and an old circus tent, the cramped working conditions enhanced creativity by limiting the distractions of comfort. Creations include first supersonic jet, the F-104, and the U-2, a top secret reconnaissance plane. Johnson created 14 rules that allowed the team to build planes, quickly, cheaply, and secretly. Obligation to prove eliteness, why one was chosen for the group, often limited conflict. Secrecy was a huge aspect of the group and this increased appeal. People respected Johnson for his work to protect the group from bureaucrats. Johnson chose Rich to be his successor. While Johnson was an aviation genius, Rich was more like Walt Disney in that he was an effective leader by harnessing the ingenuity and creativity of others. Under Rich, stealth technology was revolutionized. People were encouraged to think creatively instead of specializing in an area.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Clinton Campaign (Carville)- Bill Clinton ran for president in 1992. He faced incumbent George Bush (R), and Ross Perot, a third party candidate. He recruited a brilliant campaign staff that complemented his own strengths. This allowed the group to perform significantly better than if he had just recruited people like himself.Chief political strategist, James Carville, was brilliant and outspoken, drawing media coverage due to his eccentric and fiery nature. Carville ran the War Room, the 24/7 nerve center for the campaign. The campaign staff was young, energetic, and inspired by Carville and Clinton. They were original in their ideas for the campaign and meticulous in their attention to detail. Clinton listened to his staff, and the group was better for it. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> His 1996 run was not nearly as successful because the group was not as talented or cohesive. They didn’t believe that they were the underdogs anymore. He won, but not with the Great Group that was his 1992 campaigners.
