group conflicts are resolved during which stage of linear group development?
fourth stage
bruce tuckman reviewed about fifty studies of group development (including bales' model) in the mid-sixties and synthesized their commonalities in one of the most frequently cited models of group development (tuckman, 1965). tuckman's model of group development describes four linear stages (forming, storming, norming, and performing) that a group will go through in its unitary sequence of decision making. a fifth stage (adjourning) was added in 1977 when a new set of studies were reviewed (tuckman & jensen, 1977).
group development
the individual participants with their history stood only apparently in the focus of attention. they tentatively could be seen as representatives of their group and gave thereby an opportunity to understand the individual as a significant part of the group conflicts. in an attempt to find solutions for these group conflicts, various group processes were initiated and studied. pathbreaking work hypothesis was that the unsolvable appearing group conflicts were based on conscious and unconscious attitudes, feelings, response readiness and fantasies, which were often establishing identity and therefore difficult to give up. just the perception of that was accompanied by violent emotions and assumed a high willingness to affect-tolerance in the participants.
