Out Group score 52

Name of the Group Salem State Alliance Gen Bod

The out group consisted of several people who were apposed to the ideas for upcoming events, insteadof working for a compromise with the overall group they instead remained stubborn with their own

opinions. What our leader ended up doing was sticking with the majority of the group, though sheexpressed that the ideas from the out group would be incorporated.

8.2 Questions

1. They didnʼt really see themselves as an out group, they saw themselves as having their own ideas andgoals, but they still considered themselves part of the overall group. The identity of the out-group is kind

of like the outcasts from the general group. They donʼt fit well with others and band together.

2. Out group members werenʼt being treated all that differently from the rest of the group, though somepeople became annoyed and agitated with the out group, they still treated them civilly.

3. The most challenging aspect of dealing with the out group is trying to reach a consensus with them.Most of the out group remained very stubborn to some of the compromises that were brought up.

Instead they held fast to their own ideas, but refrained from being harsh.

8.3 Reflection 1 &Actions 3

R.1 My attitude towards out group members is very positive. I always try to get the underdogs point of

view and take it into consideration. I am able to remain calm and level headed, not easily agitated sogroup cohesion isnʼt disrupted. I donʼt let the out group members become out casts, instead I have them

become a part of the main group by always taking what they say into what we do.

A.3 Five actions I would do to get the out group into the main group, would be first off by giving the outgroup a voice. I would let them speak their opinions and have no one else say anything, that way theydonʼt feel challenged and they can get their feelings out in the open. Two I would highlight the unique

attributes of each of the out group members, that way they start to feel useful towards what weʼre doing.Three I would listen to what the out group has to say rather than ignore them. Four I would try to be

empathetic towards the out group, see things from their point of view and get a feel for what they want.And finally I would try to build a relationship between the out group and the main group. Iʼd try to let them

speak up and contribute more and more with what we have to do
