Social Cues and Group Dynamics
社交线索与团队动态
Description
Understand subtext, indirect communication, and social cues in adolescent peer groups; analyse the psychology of in-group and out-group dynamics and why belonging can come at the cost of exclusion; understand gossip as a social bonding and status mechanism, and its costs; develop strategies for navigating social hierarchies without compromising values; distinguish between assertiveness and aggression in peer settings; understand how to respond to exclusion — whether experiencing it or witnessing it
Assessment Prompt
When your child senses tension or unspoken 'undercurrents' in a group of friends, can they describe what social cues they pick up on and explain the difference between being assertive and being aggressive when they choose to address it?
