What defines the expectations of the group concerning its members?

• A. Group Roles
• B. Group Norms
• C. Group Agreements
• D. Group Dynamics

Answer: (A)

Group norms define the expectations the group holds for how its members should behave. These unwritten standards guide everyday interactions, participation, communication style, and how members respond to one another. They form through ongoing group interactions and become a social contract that helps keep the group cohesive and predictable. While roles specify specific tasks or functions, and agreements are explicit commitments, norms capture the broader behavioral expectations that shape how members are expected to act within the group.
