For more information on groups, please see About Group Work. The course textbook identifies four individual decision-making styles: individualist, altruist, pragmatist, and idealist. In this activity, your instructor will assign you to a group of your peers. Each member of the group will take on the characteristics of one of the four decision-making styles and explain how that style would affect the way he or she would communicate, negotiate, and apply this to interpersonal situations. If your group has more than four members, a decision-making style may be repeated.
