Why should you care? Because you’re a part of groups throughout different areas in your life — at work, among your friends, even at home. While a lot of the information he discusses applies primarily to groups in a working, school or project environment, there’s still things you can glean from the discussion that can be applied to any group. Group psychology falls under the purview of social psychology, the study of how individuals within groups interact with one another. The first article, 10 Rules That Govern Groups, includes common rules taken from research findings on group interactions, such as: Groups...

In 1955 Asch conducted a classic experiment on majority influence. The aim of the study was to investigate how people behave when given an unambiguous task. That is, would participants give the answer to what they knew to be correct or would they be influenced by the behaviour of others.
