Overview
This assignment requires an applied step before you can reflect upon the experiences and write the paper.
- First, review the task-guiding behaviors in Chapter 7 of our text.
- Then practice two of the task-guiding behaviors (the enactment of positive task roles) while interacting with one or more persons during the week. For example, requesting information, clarifying information, guiding a conversation by summarizing, or testing reasoning. After you have tried out these skills, describe how using these communication behaviors influenced the conversation. Consider how it felt to alter a behavior with someone in your daily life. Then infer how this could impact group process for a group where you are a member.
- Finally, indicate whether you plan to continue using these communication strategies and why.
