Woolfolk suggests that programs for promoting group responsibility may be particularly hard on
A. popular students who must perform well for everyone. B. students who try to sabotage the system. C. teachers who must monitor the entire class. D. unpopular students who are unable to perform well.
Explanation: D) A disadvantage of programs intended to promote group responsibility is that a whole group may suffer because of the misbehavior or mistakes of one individual. This result could be particularly difficult for unpopular students who are unable to perform (or even choose to misbehave in order to obtain attention), because it can provoke even further rejection by teammates.
