After reading chapter 6 in the text “The Psychology of Groups,” locate an article which illustrates any of the topics in this chapter. Analyze the article in light of the chapter. Please include other elements into your analysis such as a team you’ve participated in or observed. You may discuss a team in terms of television show, movie, or work of fiction. In all cases, please remember to cite and remember, other readers may not be familiar with the additional elements so please set the stage for them to understand your point of view.

For instance: think of an episode of, say, Seinfield (the relationships in Seinfield are a group and not a team but for now, let’s overlook this distinction) where social loafing is evident. Locate an article that explains social loafing (maybe in Psychology Today). Then link the chapter, article, and episode to illustrate the causes, how to identify, and how to correct social loafing in terms of social loafing.
