Group Processes

Group processes research bridges the gap between individual psychology and macro-level social structures, offering vital insights into how status hierarchies, power dynamics, and solidarity emerge naturally during interaction. Presenters will share recent empirical and theoretical developments exploring how groups form consensus, navigate conflict, distribute resources, and foster a sense of collective identity. Whether examining face-to-face team collaboration or decentralized digital networks, this session illuminates the subtle social forces that shape everyday group life.
