Course contents
Psychosocial aspects of group dynamics
Group life is characterized by many phenomena that regulate the relations between members; these phenomena influence the communication modalities and have consequences on group productivity and on the internal climate. This workshop will address some important issues in group life, such as active listening to others, empathy and role-taking processes, verbal and non-verbal communication, roles, status and group norms, the influence of stereotypes in relationships with others, group decision-making processes. These themes will be carried out through active didactic methods that include exercises, group discussions, short theoretical inputs.
