  6. GROUP DISCUSSION SUMMARY • Group becomes more cohesive: • -trust & support typically build -naturally quiet members are willing to engage in interaction without fear of being misunderstood • (Watson, Michaelsen & Sharp 1991)

  7. GROUP DISCUSSION SUMMARY • Inherent benefits as a tool for both affective & cognitive domains • Shyness, overwhelming dominant members & high group diversity are identified as shortcomings unique to this method. (Bastable, 2008).
