pluralistic ignorance
Individuals do not agree, but assume that they are the only ones who think like that, which withholds them from expressing it in the group and act along with this negative norm.
Also happens with eating disorders or overweight (this is more present in some groups, like in sport teams).
3 role theories
- Functional
- Interactional
- Dynamic
- Functional: emphasis on the usability and the utility of a role to reach goals and to strengthen the relations in the group. The most competent employee will have a flexible role.
- Interactional: emphasis on the productive process of actions that are role-oriented, where everyone works on his own roles and obligations while interacting with each other’s.
- Dynamic: in which someone has multiple roles (primary, like being a father or mother, or secondary, like being a follower of something).
Self-presentation (impression management)
influences the perception of others, by passing selectively personal information through to them (conscious and unconsciously to leave a good impression with others).
