Answer to Question 1

The size of a group is one of its most important features. Interactions are more

personal and intense in a small groupa collectivity small enough for all members to

be acquainted with one another and to interact simultaneously. A dyad is a group

composed of two membersthe active participation of both members is crucial for the

group's survival. If one member withdraws from interaction or quits, the group

ceases to exist. Dyads provide members with a more intense bond and a sense of unity

not found in most large groups. When a third person is added to a dyad, a triada

group composed of three membersis formed. In a triad, even if one member ignores

another or declines to participate, the group can still function. In addition, two members

may unite to create a coalition that can subject the third member to group pressure to

conform. As the size of a group increases beyond three people, members tend to

specialize in different tasks, and everyday communication patterns change. In groups

of more than six or seven people, it becomes increasingly difficult for everyone to take

part in the same conversations therefore, several conversations will probably take

place simultaneously. In groups of more than ten or twelve people, it becomes virtually

impossible for all members to participate in a single conversation unless one person

serves as moderator and guides the discussion.
