These conditions are group atmosphere, the relationships that develop between group members, and the communication system that is established. Analyzing these three areas can explain what is happening in a group in terms of process.
Every group has an atmosphere or climate of some type.
That is, every group establishes a mood or setting for its work that can be experienced or felt by the people involved. Within every group, there is also a set of relationships between the group members. These relationships may relate to past experiences that group members have had with each other, or may concern definitions of complementary roles they should play with each other after introductions have been made. Finally, every group has a communications system. The communications system used by the group can be either effective or ineffective.
