    SALIENT FEATURES OF GROUP DISCUSSION

    Some of the salient features common to all group discussions are as follows:

    • Interface: A basic feature of group discussions is the interaction among the various
    members of the group. They see, hear and communicate with each other orally by paying
    attention to each other.

    • Leader and Members: Group discussions are effective only when there is a group
    of members and a leader. The leader has to summarise facts and information, integrate
    them, stimulate thinking and agree to a unanimous solution of the problem. The members
    of the group become actively related to each other in their respective roles.

    • Participation: The effectiveness and efficiency of a group discussion depend, to a


    large extent, upon the active participation of the members.
    • Interpersonal Attraction: As long as
    interaction continues, the likes, dislikes, behaviour
    and temperament of members are known to each
    other.

    • Pressure to Conform: In a group


    discussion, there is always an element of pressure
    to conform to norms. The pre-defined and
    established standards are always enforced and
    followed.

    • Conflict: A conflict is a difference or


    disagreement among the members of the group,
    which often arise during deliberations and
    discussions. A conflict is inevitable and usually
    develops when alternative solutions are present..
    PURPOSE OF GROUP DISCUSSION
    Group discussions may serve various purposes. Some
    of them are:

    • To reach a solution on an issue of concern

    • To generate new ideas or new approaches


    to solving a problem

    • For selecting candidates after the written


    test for employment or for admission to
    educational institutes

    • To provide us with an avenue to train


    ourselves in various interpersonal skills
