The stages of group formation, as proposed by psychologist Bruce Tuckman, are:
1. Forming: In this stage, group members come together and get to know each other. They may be polite and cautious, trying to understand the purpose and goals of the group.
2. Storming: In this stage, conflicts and disagreements may arise as group members start to express their opinions and ideas. Power struggles and competition for leadership may occur as individuals try to establish their roles within the group.
3. Norming: In this stage, the group begins to establish norms, rules, and expectations for behavior. Group cohesion starts to develop, and members may start to trust and support each other. Roles and responsibilities become clearer, and a sense of unity emerges.
4. Performing: In this stage, the group is fully functional and productive. Members work together towards achieving the group's goals, utilizing their skills and expertise. Communication and collaboration are effective, and the group is focused on achieving results.
5. Adjourning: In this final stage, the group disbands or completes its task. Members reflect on their accomplishments and experiences, and there may be a sense of loss or nostalgia as the group comes to an end. This stage is also known as the "mourning" stage.
It is important to note that not all groups go through these stages in a linear fashion, and some groups may experience regression or get stuck in a particular stage. Additionally, different factors such as group size, purpose, and dynamics can influence the duration and intensity of each stage.
