Group dynamics

Group dynamics is a system of behaviors and psychological processes occurring within a social

group (intragroup dynamics), or between social groups (intergroup dynamics). The study of

group dynamics can be useful in understanding decision-making behavior, tracking the spread of

diseases in society, creating effective therapy techniques, and following the emergence and

popularity of new ideas and technologies. Group dynamics are at the core of understanding

racism, sexism, and other forms of social prejudice and discrimination. These applications of the

field are studied in psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, epidemiology,

education, social work, business, andcommunication studies.
