Unless you're a loner, you're probably a member

of

many

different

^groups. Some are long lasting,

like

your

family, while

others, such as a

football

crowd, are temporary.

Every

group functions

in

different ways but there are

still

some common psychological features to any group.

(71)

_

Being part

of

^{a group changes the}

way you

^{behave. The presence}

of

others has

a

generally arousing effect on the nervous system. This is natural-you don't know what they

will

do. They may move about, speak

to you, or

even attack

you,

and

your brain

has

to pay

attention

to all

these messages. Having others around ^is

just

distracting.

It

divides your attention, so yoir can't focus on the task in hand.

(72)

But when

it

comes to complex tasks, the prospect of not being evaluated may free you from anxiety, ^so encouraging you to perform better.

To

test this, psychologists asked volunteers to carry out a complex computer

task in

separate

rooms.

Some were

told

performance

would be

evaluated

individually

causing performance

anxiety - while

others were

told

the results

would

be averaged

with

the rest

of

the group. As expected, the second group did better than the

first.

within a $oup

^{does have}

many

negative connotations

but it's not always a bad thing.

Instead

of thinking

about a rowdy mob,

think of

relaxing, dancing and enjoying yourself at ^a party where you are also

just

a part of the crowd.

(74)

But

surprisingly, research has shown

that the

use

of this

technique

by

^groups

isn't that effective in either the

number

or quality of

ideas generated.

You get better results if you

set people

to work individually

on ^a problem. We also tend to assume that decisions made

by

groups are better than those made by individuals, which is why we form committees.

(7s)

But

any group can get a decision badly wrong because

their

thought processes can go awry. This

is

a process psychologists

call 'groupthink'. A close-knit group of

advisers isolated

from

argument and

criticism

can grow to believe they can do no wrong. The group then becomes more important than the individuals who are part

of it.

Further, a leadership style

which

concentrates on the group rather than the

individual

can contribute to this.

For a group and its behaviour are shaped by

who

is

in

charge and the roles the other members play.

A

good

front

man

or

woman

is

persuasive,

not

directive, communicates and speaks clearly, listens

well

and appeals to group members' emotions and feelings as

well

^{as thoughts} and ideas.

M*y,

but not all, leaders show dominance

in

the group.

But

the dominant person

in

the group doesn't always make the best leader, and

it isn't

necessarily

true

that

having the

smartest people always makes

for the

most successful group.

A.

This lack of

individual

accountability may lead to people letting go of

their inhibitions

- a process known

as

'deindividuation'. Sometimes

this is

dangerous, releasing

violent

and impulsive behaviours that individuals would never dream of indulging in alone.

B.

They have

a

need

for power,

characterised by

talking a lot, wonting to

be listened to and

to

make decisions.

In a group it

can be easy

to

spot the dominant

people.

They make eye contact,

point

and even touch people but don't encourage return gestures. Such behaviour studies have been key in

shoping business organisation.

C.

For

example,

in

general, humans

are social

animals, that's

why

we

get

together

in

groups

in

the

first

place. Important elements of

our individual

identity come

from

^being

part

of a group. Most people enjoy being in ^a group

-

it's q way

offorming

emotionally satisfying relationships.

D. But

it

has to be a carefully selected team, not a randomly generated group,

if

creative decisions are to be made.

Infact,

theory on team

building

has shown that

it

is better

f

people work in small teams

of

complementary

pairs. Big

teams don't get anything done, even though people like them.

E.

So, how does

all

this

stimulation

affect achievement?

It

^has been argued that people do better on

simple

well-rehearsed

activities when they're with others than when they are

alone.

Also, if

^their

individual effurts

within

the group are not being monitored, there's a tendency to relax and merge into the crowd.

F. Another positive

feature

of groups is that they generate ideas and opinions, and use these to makp decisions. That's why the modern trend

in

teaching is

for

^{students to}

work

in small groups to prepare presentations and why brainstorming is so

popular

in the work context.

The Risks of Cigarette Smoke

Discovered

in

the

early

^1800s and named nicotianine, the

oily

essence

now

called nicotine is

71. 72. 73. 74. 75.

smoke,

which

contains more than 4,700 chemical compounds,

including 43

cancer-causing substances.

In

recent times,

scientific

research has been

providing

evidence that years

of

cigarette smoking vastly increases the

risk

of developing fatal medical conditions.

In addition to being

responsible

for more than 85 per cent of lung

cancers,

smoking

is associated

with

cancers

of,

amongst others, the mouth, stomach and kidneys, and

is

thought

to

^cause

about 14 per cent

of

leukemia and cervical cancers.

In

1990, smoking caused more than 84,000 deaths,

mainly

resulting

from

such problems as pneumonia, bronchitis and

influenza.

Smoking,

it

is believed,

is

responsible

for 30 per

cent

of all

deaths

from

cancer and

clearly

represents

the

most preventable cause of cancer in countries

like

the United States today.

Passive

smoking, the breathing in of the

side-stream

smoke from the burning of

tobacco between

puffs or of the

smoke exhaled

by a

smoker,

also

causes

a

serious

health risk. A

report published

in

1992 by the US Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA)

emphasized the health dangers,

especially from

side-stream

smoke. This type of smoke contains more, smaller particles and

is therefore

more likely to be

deposited deep

in the lungs. On the

basis

of this report, the EPA

has classified environmental tobacco smoke in the highest

risk

category

for

causing cancer.

As

an

illustration of the

health risks,

in the

case

of a married

couple where one partner

is

a smoker and one a non-smoker, the latter

is

believed

to

have

a

30

per

cent higher

risk of

death

from

heart disease because

of

passive smoking.

The risk of lung

cancer

also

increases

over the

years

of

exposure and the figure

jumps to

80 per cent

if

the spouse has been smoking

four

packs

a

day

for

20 years.

It

has been calculated

that

17 per cent ofcases

oflung

cancer can be attributed to high levels

of

exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke during childhood and adolescence.

A

more recent study by researchers at the

University of California

^at San Francisco (UCSF) has shown

that

second-hand cigarette smoke does more harm

to

non-smokers than

to

smokers. Leaving aside the philosophical question

of

whether anyone should have

to

breathe someone else's cigarette smoke, the report suggests that the smoke experienced by many people

in their daily

lives is enough to produce substantial adverse effects on a person's heart and lungs.

The report, published

in

the Journal

of

the American

Medical

Association

(AMA),

was based on the researchers'

own

earlier research

but

also includes a

review of

studies over the past

few

yea$.

The American Medical Association represents about

half of all

US doctors and is a strong opponent

of

smoking. The study

suggests

that people who smoke

cigarettes

are continually

damaging their cardiovascular system,

which

adapts in order to compensate

for

the effects

of

smoking.

It

further states that people who do not smoke do not have the benefit of

their

system adapting to the smoke inhalation.

Consequently, the effects of passive smoking are far greater on non-smokers than on smokers.

This report

emphasizes

that

cancer

is not

caused

by a single

element

in

cigarette smoke;

harmful effects

to

health are caused

by

many components. Carbon monoxide,

for

example, competes

with

oxygen

in

red

blood

cells and interferes

with

the

blood's ability to deliver life-giving

oxygen to the heart. Nicotine and other toxins

in

cigarette smoke activate small blood cells called platelets, which increases the

likelihood

of blood clots, thereby affecting blood circulation throughout the body.
