Assignment 2: (RA 2): Group Behavior Case Study
You learned that group behavior can influence human behavior
and society as a whole. You will now have an opportunity to
apply your understanding of the dimensions and theoretical
perspectives that influence human behavior and identify
services that promote healthy functioning. In this assignment,
you will generate a case study on group behavior that resulted
in a negative outcome. You will then create a report applying
two behavioral theories and provide recommendations for
effective behavioral strategies or other services.
Tasks:

negative outcome (for example, hazing or bullying) in a

setting influences the behavioral outcomes. Justify your chosen
models and theories.
