as friends.

but throughout the episode create a temporary group due to their situation of being
stuck together in the library together.
Formal & Informal: The group of friends within the episode are a formal group
due to their system of controlled and organised relationships as a whole, but a second
groups is then formed within the library and is an informal group this is due to the
choice of characters interacting by chance, rather than deliberately because they are
forced to stay in the library temporarily with members that they do not usually interact
with, but are in this case, due to the situation.

within the group

completing tasks and setting goals, they focus to get the job done.

their feelings, opinions and values about the goal.They are concerned about
maintaining the group and value each persons input. The individual who takes on
this socio- emotional role helps the group to maintain harmony.

and the process in which it will be occurring. Lucas’s role as a

to the fact that he is a well respected figure of the group, thus helping
them to succeed in winning the basketball game.

- Autocratic
Peyton has demonstrated a collaborative role within the episode
starting out when she tries to use her mobile phone to ring anybody
she can to get them out of the library.She helps encourage other
members and puts forwards ideas and suggestions.
Peyton’s role has impacted a positive effect on the groups dynamics as
she is trying to reach the goal in which all group members want
achieved, to get them out of the library. She then goes on suggesting
that Brooke should try and ring a man that she is dating, to try and help
them out, as Brooke is the only one with cell phone reception.
Peyton’s role then switches within the episode to an autocratic leader
as she come up with the idea to order pizza and get it delivered to the
library which will then mean someone will come and open the door to
let them out. Peyton makes the decision of choosing the pizza whilst
trying to involve the others as little as possible.

14. Brooke
Within the episode Brooke takes on the leadership style of an Autocratic.
Brooke demonstrates the role of an autocratic leader as she takes part
in using the cell phone at the beginning of the episode. Her role is
defined by the leader as she gets told to ring the man she is dating.
Brooke’s leadership has a positive effect on the groups dynamics due to
the fact she is trying to get out of the situation that the group are stuck
in, so herself and other group members do not miss the basketball
game.

15. Mia
Mia demonstrates the leadership style of Laissez-Fair within the episode
Mia demonstrates the role of a Laissez-Fair leader as half way into the
episode she comes up with the idea to break the tension within the
group, she starts to tell each group member what good qualities they
possess. Mia exercises little control throughout the episode and leaves
the members of the group to sort out their own problems. This action
shows a positive impact on the groups dynamics as she is trying to
make the two members in the group who don’t get along, Peyton and
Lindsey, try to resolve their differences and get along on their own, but
through her sly idea.

16. Haley
Haley takes on the leadership style of an Autocratic and Collaborative within the episode.
Haley plays the part of an autocratic leader throughout the
episode as she uses the phone in the first 10 mins of being stuck
in the library to make a call to anyone in order to try and get out
of the library.
This has a positive impact on the groups dynamics as she is tying
to help other member in the group as well as herself reach the
goal in which they have set, which is to get out of the library.
Haley’s leadership role switches over to collaborative, when she is
trying to stop a fight between Peyton and Lindsay in which occurs
in the middle of the episode by trying to maintain control of the
group then acts as a consultant to try and defuse the situation.
This leadership style has a positive impact on the groups
dynamics as she is setting a calm mood and maintaining order so
that the group can carry on together.

17. Tim
Tim demonstrates the role of a Laissez- Faire leader within the episode.
Tim’s leadership style is that of Laissez-Faire,as throughout the entire time
he was in the library he fully knows that he can get himself and his group
out of the situation they are put in by taking off the hinge of the door. He
has little control over the group and lets them sort out their own problems.
This leadership style can be looked at from both a positive and a negative
side, the positive effect on the groups dynamics is that when he states he
misses the group because they rarely keep in contact anymore, he is trying
to bring the group together. This can also be looked at as a negative impact
on the groups dynamics as he clearly knows he can get himself and them
other group members out of library, although chooses not to, this can be
seen as a negative impact due to the fact the whole group then miss the
basketball game they came to the school in the first place to watch.
