Tuckman's stages of group communication
The first stage of group communication according to Tuckman is forming, this is where the team is formed and roles are allocated to individuals within the group. This stage is essentially used as a catalyst in getting the members of the group to know each other as they don’t feel comfortable enough in each other’s company and will still be acting on an independent basis. There is also a heavy reliance on the team leader at this point as no one feels confident enough in their new surroundings to make decisions and generate input. The time during this stage is basically used to gain new information and to bond. (http://www.businessballs.com/tuckmanformingstormingnormingperforming.htm 11:43) The second stage of group communication is known as storming, this is where the team begins to understand the task and produces ideas and beliefs that they feel will help the group succeed. A positive of this would be that if the ideas work well together, bonds will be formed and productivity will be increased, however, a tendency for someone to wish to have their input heard above others and valued more will lead to conflicts and arguments within the group. In extreme cases, if the group finds themselves stuck in the storming stage, they will come up with simple, non effective solution just so that the team can progress leading to many problems further on and not progressing as
Argyle's and Tuckman's Theories of Communication.
Glodie Musuele unit 1 p2 Argyles theory Michael argyle was a psychologist born on august 11th 1925. He was one of the best known social psychologist who spent most of his career in the University of Oxford. Later on he gained a first experimental degree in psychology from Cambridge University in 1950 and later became the first lecturer in social psychology at the University of Oxford, also with London school of economics. The communication cycle. The communication cycle is when we understand what is being said, reflect and check out what the person you are communicating with is saying. When communicating to people we have to make sure they understand what we are saying and respond to it accordingly. The communication cycle has 6 steps. Step one- an idea occurs -Have you idea of what you are going to communicate -Who you are going to communicate with, for example if they are older or younger than you and if so how much are they, or a work colleague -What the person on the recovering

Stages of sleep
Stages of sleep Until sleep was accidentally measured researchers had no idea that sleep had different stages, before all they could do was time how long people slept and record their movement to try to interpret whether they are dreaming, etc. There was very limited research in this area until it was discovered that using an electroencephalograph (EEG) which records the average electrical potentials of cells and fibers to record the rise and falls when cells fire in synchrony during sleep. This has shown that there are many different stages that occur during sleep. Loomis, Harvey and Hobart discovered in 1937 that when using EEG at the beginning and also throughout sleep showed clear stages in the change of electrical activity in the brain. This allowed sleep to be measured now as a perpetual process and also showed that sleep appears to be made-up of 'a complex mosaic of stages or conditions', (H.W.Agnew,Jr & Webb.B.W, 1973). Humans need approx. eight hours sleep a night, this is different to other animals, however it has been shown that non-human animals also go through similar stages of sleep. During humans' eight hours of sleep brain activity and eye movement change can be split into different stages. These stages are compared to a state of relaxed wakefulness. Alpha waves are recorded at a frequency of 8 to 12 per second. Alpha waves are present when a human is in a
Stages Of Development
Stages of Development Below I have researched the different stages of development in order to find the best one to choose to study about Holly who I intend to study over a period of 6 months. Physical Development Physical development is development of the body, this development can sometimes hinder within children of the same age. As physical development will proceed in a child that child will gain various physical skills-motor skills . These motor skills require coordination between the childs brain and muscles and do also require a lot of practice before the child can automatically do them without difficulty. Gross motor skills use the large muscles in the body and include skill like:walking, running , skipping etc. Fine manipulativce skills involve precise use of the hands and also the fingers for pointing, drawing, doing up buttons, eating with a spoonetc. Social Development Social development plays a very important part in a childs life. This development is needed by every child to make them a strong and stable person in their community and that can only happen when the child knows how to communicate with other people because this is a very important part of everyday life. It also says in my Child Development textbook that children are generally happier and healthier if they get on well with people around then so this also shows the importance of good social
Stages of adolecence
Adolecence! (Ages 11-18) -Stages of adolecence- Adolecence can roughly be divided into three stages: Early adolecence (11-13), Middle adolecence (14-16) and late adolecence (17-18). In addition to physiological growth, 7 key intellectual, physiological and social developmental tasks are also squeezed into these years. The fundemental aim of this task is to form ones own identity and prepare them for adulthood. Physical development- Puberty is defined as the biological changes of adolecence. By mid adolecence probably sooner, a teenagers physiological growth should be complete; they should be the weight and hight they would be as an adult, they are also now physically capable of having babies. Intellectual development- Most children enter adolecence still perceive the world as black and white, everything is either right or wrong, good or bad. Teens rarely look beyond the present which explains their inability to look at the long term consequences of their actions. By late adolecence, many teenagers would have come to appreciate subtleties of ideas and situations and will be able to project to the future. Their capaility to sense what others feel and solve complex situations has improved considerably. But as they are still quite inexperianced in life, even older teenagers may use these newfound skills erratically and may act without thinking. Emotional development- If
Communication. Argyle's stages of the communication cycle and Tuckmans stages of group interaction
Laila Suleiman Unit 1 P2 INTRODUCTION For the second criteria (P2), I will consider how communication theory helps to explain effective communication in Health & Social care contexts. I will discuss the following theories; Argyle 1972 & Tuckman’s stages of group interaction and i will link them to the effective communication and interpersonal interaction. Theories of communication: Argyle's stages of the communication cycle (ideas occur, message coded, message sent, message received, message decoded, message understood); How is the Argyle communication cycle used in health and social care? Communication is the basic part of our lives. There are several different methods of communication moreover we are gaining more and more all the time. The communication cycle is a structure that was thought up about how we communicate. The first person that identified the communication cycle was Charles Burner, it was identified in 1965. few years later, Michael Argyle (1972), assumed that interpersonal communication was a skill that had to be learned, just as you would learn how to drive a car. ‘Driving involves’ a stable cycle of watching what is happening on the road, working out how to respond making the require responses and then repeating the cycle until the end of your journey. Argyle argued that communication involved much the same ‘cycle’ as driving required.
Extending Product Life Cycle Stages
Extending Product Life Cycle Stages Gabriel Steinhardt, MBA Abstract The Product Life Cycle (PLC) model is introduced and its merits and faults are addressed. Considerations, ways and reasons to extend PLC stages are explained. Examples are provided to show how product marketing and management strategies can be used at different PLC stages to help establish market dominance and drive sales. . Introduction Businesses are always seeking better ways to grow profits and maximize revenue from the sale of products or services. Revenue allows a company to maintain viability, invest in new product development and improve its workforce; all in an effort to acquire additional market share and become a leader in its respective industry. A consistent and sustainable revenue stream from product sales is key to any long-term investment, and the best way to attain a stable revenue stream is a Cash Cow [i] product. Cash Cows are leading products that command a large market share in mature markets. Cash Cows display a Return On Investment (ROI) that is greater than the market growth rate, and thus produce more cash than they consume. The question is therefore: How can a company develop a Cash Cow product? One way of doing so is by applying relevant product marketing strategies, a.k.a. competitive moves, at the various stages that make a Product Life Cycle (PLC). The Product Life Cycle
The Stages of the DTM
The Stages of the DTM Each of the stages of the DTM exhibit specific characteristics. The following A - E? show what characteristics you can expect for each stage and possible reasons for the changes between stages. A - Stage 1 Both high birth rates and death rates fluctuate in the first stage of the population model giving a small population growth (shown by the small total population graph). There are many reasons for this: * little access to birth control * many children die in infancy (high infant mortality) so parents tend to have more children to compensate in the hopes that more will live * children are needed to work on the land to grow food for the family * children are regarded as a sign of virility in some cultures * religious beliefs (e.g. Roman Catholics and Hindus) encourage large families * high death rates, especially among children because of disease, famine, poor diet, poor hygiene, little medical science. B - Stage 2 Birth rates remain high, but death rates fall rapidly causing a high population growth (as shown by the total population graph). The reasons for this could be: * improvements in medical care - hosppitals, medicines, etc. * improvements in sanitation and water supply * quality and quantity of food produced rises * transport and communications improve the movements of food and medical supplies * decrease in infant
Atonement, Brionys early stages
English Oral, Atonement, Young stage of Briony Good morning. Today I will be discussing the early stages of Briony's life. This will include her attributes, characteristics and the conditions in which she grew up. The thirteen years old girl, Briony Tallis, has grown up under wealthy conditions. After seeing her older sister Cecilia naked with the cleaners' son Robbie, standing together at the Fountain, and after reading a letter from Robbie to Cecilia where he writes mature words, she gets curious and distrustful about Robbie and accuses him of raping her sister. Through that statement she ruins her sisters, Robbies' and her own life. Briony was raised under affluent conditions, where her parents could give her anything she wanted, however what they lacked was the amount of attention in which they gave her. She needed emotional support instead of materialistic. Her father, who does not play a major role in her life, is always away working and does not show any interest in her. Her mother, who is always sick, by having migraine, has a quite similar personality to Briony. Both are characters, who long for attention but never get it. Briony tries to get it through blaming Robbie for raping her sister Cecilia, although she did not recognize him. I think she just blames and accuses him, to get more attention and that people would then show an interest in her. She often
