We are all members of a variety of groups. In a typical week, you may collaborate in a team of coworkers, eat lunch with your friends, gather with family and friends for a celebration, watch your children play after-school sports with other parents, read and comment on political news and opinion pieces on social media, or participate in an online support group.
In this course, you will learn about the ways groups can affect your thoughts, behaviors, and the communities to which you belong. You will explore topics in social facilitation, social loafing, deindividuation, group conformity, the bystander effect, groupthink, and group polarization. As one outcome of this course, you will learn about the processes and consequences of these group dynamics, both good and bad, and ways to identify and manage their effects.

There is a lot of useful information here. Some sections involved a lot of reading and fewer videos. While all materials are great, I would have appreciated both audio and reading options.

Very deep, professional and science-based course. The quizes are not primitive but stimulate to think properly. Thank you, APA team!

Correctly explains the negatives of group behaviour like groupthink. Explains why people working individually might do better. Also explains how to overcome problems with groups.
