Reflection Activity 4

Q PSY339 - Reflection Activities At various points during the term, students will be asked to respond to reflection questions. Reflection responses are expected to be well developed and conceived, and they must clearly convey that the student has significantly pondered the issue. Students are required to submit the response in a Word document with the file name “YourLastName_PSY339_reflection#_.docx” where you will add the reflection number from 1 to 4. This assignment will be uploaded to the appropriate module’s Assignment box. (Each of these Assignment is linked to Turnitin.) All responses must be received on time or there will be a one letter grade reduction for each 24 hours the assignment is late. Reflection Activity #4 (Due at the end of Module 8, Sunday, 11:59 PM EDT/EST) If you have ever worked for an organization, you likely had to work with a group or a committee to complete a project. Did you notice patterns of social loafing or social striving? If you were the group leader or project manager of a work group, how could you ensure that all members equally contributed? Write a brief reflection paper on these questions of no more than 500 words in length.
