People who don't feel respected by their team are __________. Conversely, respected members of organizational groups that have low status and prestige are the most likely to __________.
 
  a. high in social comparison; be self-serving and competitive
  b. not as loyal or committed to their team; donate their time to their team to improve its image
  c. high in realistic conflict; be high in symbolic conflict
  d. high in ethnocentrism; stereotype

Question 2

One implication of the optimal distinctiveness model is that to secure loyalty, teams must not only satisfy members' needs for affiliation and belonging within a group, but must also:
 
  a. maintain high levels of cohesion.
  b. establish a good record of performance.
  c. contribute to the greater good of the team.
  d. maintain clear boundaries that differentiate them from other groups.

Question 3

Optimal Distinctiveness Theory argues that people:
 
  a. want to strive to be the most valued team member.
  b. prefer to be accepted by others more than being correct, accurate, or right.
  c. want to neither be too different, nor too similar to others.
  d. want to be the leader of their team.

Question 4

Exhibit 12-2 illustrates the progressively more inclusive ways a person can identify himself or herself within an organizational structure.
 
  At a basic level, a person might see himself or herself as an individual, but at a wider view, a person might see himself or herself as a member of a unit or a larger organizational area. Group members identify and categorize themselves in this same fashion; categorizing themselves and others in terms of in-groups and out-groups. The more narrowly a group defines itself, the more the group's behavior becomes:
  a. cohesive and differentiated.
  b. inclusive and extraverted.
  c. competitive and self-serving.
  d. cooperative and self-sacrificing.

Question 5

The __________ self is realized by differentiating ourselves from others; __________ self is achieved by assimilating with significant others; __________ self is achieved by inclusion in large, social groups.
 
  a. relational; individual; collective
  b. individual; relational; collective
  c. me-centered; we-centered; mixed-motive
  d. independent; interdependent; codependent

Question 6

This self-concept is achieved by assimilating with significant others, and is based on personalized bonds of attachment. This is best termed as:
 
  a. individual self.
  b. relational self.
  c. collective self.
  d. cognitive identity.

Question 7

The extent to which a person identifies with a group occurs on three distinct identity levels. Individuals who are high in __________ identity are likely to agree with the following statements:
 
  all members need to contribute to achieve the group's goals and this group accomplishes things that no single member could achieve.
  a. emotional
  b. behavioral
