Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Question restatement: The prompt asks which type of group role is represented by the following examples: brainstormer, expert, devil's advocate, ringmaster, and memory.
Option a: 'Destructive.' This label would imply roles that deliberately harm group functioning or goals. The given roles (brainstormer, expert, etc.) are not about destruction; they are about contributing specific cognitive or behavioral functions to the group process, so this option mischaracterizes these roles.
Option b: 'None of the options listed.' This would be accurate only if all provided options were incorrect. Since one of the options aligns with the nature of these roles, this choice is not appropriate.
Option c: 'Task.' This category refers to roles that focus on the completion of group tasks and achieving objectives. A brainstormer contributes ideas to the task, an expert provides domain knowledge necessary to accomplish the task, a devil’s advocate tests ideas to strengthen the task outcome, a ringmaster coordinates activities to keep the task moving, and memory could be seen as a role that recalls important information for task execution. Collectively, these are all task-oriented roles that support task completion.
Option d: 'Socio-emotional.' This category covers roles that support group cohesiveness, morale, and interpersonal relationships. While some roles like the ringmaster or memory can have social implications, the primary focus described by the listed roles appears to be advancing the task itself rather than primarily managing emotions or relationships; thus this option does not best fit all the examples provided.
In summary, the set of roles described—brainstormer, expert, devil's advocate, ringmaster, and memory—aligns most closely with task-oriented functions that drive the group's work forward, rather than solely addressing destructive behaviors, social-emotional dynamics, or an option asserting none of the listed choices apply.
