Which component consists of the members of the group analyzing the group's functioning?

• A. Group Process
• B. Group Dynamics
• C. Group Therapy
• D. Group Organization

Answer: (A)

Group process is the part that captures how the group works together and how the members analyze their own functioning. It includes looking at how they communicate, share leadership, set norms, resolve conflicts, and support one another within the group. This reflective work on the group’s interactions and patterns is precisely what’s being described when members examine how the group operates. Group dynamics refers more broadly to the forces and patterns shaping behavior within the group, often from an observational or theoretical standpoint. Group therapy is the therapeutic intervention using a group format. Group organization deals with the structure and logistics of running the group.
