Public health interventions, such as mandated vaccinating or quarantining during an epidemic, are necessary to limit the spread of communicable diseases, but in many cases, certain groups resist these initiatives For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, antiquarantine groups protested the mandate to socially distance and remain at home, claiming these directives violated their right to assemble, travel, and work The current analysis examined media descriptions of these antiquarantine groups to determine if these groups' divergent responses to a legally and medically warranted health initiative resulted from groupthink: the deterioration of judgment and rationality that sometimes occurs in groups In support of this possibility, accounts of these groups indicated that (a) the conditions that cause groupthink, including high levels of cohesion and isolation, were present and potent within these groups and that (b) the groups exhibited many of the symptoms of groupthink, including group illusions and pressures to conform Given the ubiquity of these groups-for centuries, public health interventions have generated opposing antiregulation reactions-no amount of planning may be sufficient to prevent such groups However, a theory-driven approach based on groupthink suggests that group-level interventions that directly address the processes that cause groupthink, such as isolation, conformity pressure, and cohesion, could reduce the influence of such groups on their members and on society (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved) Impact Statement Highlights and Implications-*Groups that protest public health interventions that mandate vaccinating or quarantining during an epidemic may be experiencing groupthink: the deterioration of judgment and rationality that sometimes occurs in highly cohesive groups *The group-level processes that are associated with groupthink, such as high levels of cohesion and isolation, were in evidence in the antiquarantine groups that protested medical directives during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 *Group-level interventions that limit groupthink in such groups could reduce the number of individuals who take part in group activities that are inconsistent with legally and medically warranted health initiatives *Groupthink theory provides a general explanation for decision-making in groups, but additional research is needed to determine the validity of the extension of this theory to groups that engage in unusual actions, such as health protests (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
公共卫生干预措施，如在流行病期间强制接种疫苗或隔离，对于限制传染病的传播是必要的，但在许多情况下，某些群体抵制这些举措。例如，在2020年2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，反隔离团体抗议要求保持社交距离并留在家中的规定，声称这些指令侵犯了他们的集会、旅行、当前的分析检查了媒体对这些反检疫群体的描述，以确定这些群体对法律和医学上有保证的健康倡议的不同反应是否源于群体思维:为了支持这种可能性，对这些群体的描述表明:(a)导致群体思维的条件，包括高度的凝聚力和孤立性，在这些群体中是存在的，而且是强有力的;(b)这些群体表现出了群体思维的许多症状，包括群体幻想和顺从的压力。然而，基于群体思维的理论驱动方法表明，直接解决导致群体思维的过程(如孤立、从众压力和凝聚力)的群体层面干预可以减少此类群体对其成员和社会的影响(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA)，影响声明重点和影响-*抗议在流行病期间强制接种疫苗或隔离的公共卫生干预措施的团体可能正在经历群体思维:与群体思维相关的群体层面的过程，如高度的凝聚力和孤立性;在2020年COVID-19大流行期间抗议医疗指令的反检疫团体中得到了证据*限制群体思维的群体层面干预措施可以减少参与与法律和医学上有根据的健康举措不一致的群体活动的个人数量*群体思维理论为群体决策提供了一般解释，但需要进一步的研究来确定将这一理论扩展到从事不寻常行为的群体(如健康抗议)的有效性(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2020 APA，所有权利保留)

Objective: With the underlying rationale that social identification is related to psychological health and well-being, we aimed to understand how social connections and group structure within college club sport teams relate to students' perceptions of social identification.
Method: We sampled 852 student-athletes from 35 intact same-sex college club sport teams. Using social network analyses derived from teammates' reports of connections with one another (i.e., time spent outside of sport, and teammate friendships), we computed: outdegree centrality (i.e., self-reported connections with teammates), indegree centrality (i.e., nominations from others), and group-level density. Multilevel models were fit to test the relative effects of outdegree centrality, indegree centrality, and group-level team density on athletes' social identification strength.
Results: Outdegree centrality, indegree centrality, and team density were all positively related to the strength of athletes' social identification with their sport team. Examining model results step-by-step, incoming nominations of social connections (i.e., indegree) were associated with social identification beyond the effects of self-reported outdegree centrality. Furthermore, team-level density was significantly related to social identification after accounting for the individual-level effects of centrality.
Conclusion: Sport is a domain where participants can build social connections with peers, and sport groups offer a salient source for social identification. The current findings indicate that athletes who have greater social connections with teammates may form a stronger sense of social identification. Alongside theoretical contributions to a social identity approach to studying small groups, the current study highlights the utility of studying small groups using social network methodologies.

The current study examines the asymmetric effects of dyadic gender composition on the provision of task-related helping behaviors in project teams. We collected 428 observations of dyadic task-related helping behaviors from 149 students in 31 project teams. We tested our hypotheses using a multilevel cross-classified model in which each member interacts with all other members of the project team. The findings indicate an asymmetric pattern of the effects of dyadic gender composition on task-related help contingent on members’ perceived expertise and team identification. The results show that women are more likely to provide task-related help to men peers when women’s perceived expertise is high. Additionally, men are likely to provide task-related assistance to women peers when the men’s team identification is high. The pattern of interactions of perceived expertise and team identification with dyadic gender composition found in the present study suggests that the dyadic gender composition plays out in a more complex way than previously considered, especially due to the status implications of gender. It is important for managers to understand how dyadic gender composition could encourage or discourage an offering of task-related help.
