Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks us to identify the non-supportive role in groups shown by a member who complains to elicit sympathy from others.
Since the provided options list is empty, we cannot evaluate alternative labels side by side; we must base the analysis on the described behavior.
The behavior described—frequent complaints meant to gain a sympathetic response—fits the classic non-supportive role commonly called the whiner or complainer. This pattern tends to derail group progress by drawing attention to personal distress rather than contributing to task work.
Other non-supportive roles often discussed in group dynamics include behaviors like blocking progress, aggressiveness, or seeking attention in disruptive ways. Without explicit alternatives, we can contrast the described act with constructive participation: instead of offering solutions, the whiner tends to dwell on problems without proposing remedies, which can lower group morale and stall decision-making.
From a misperception standpoint, one might think complaint-driven behavior is harmless venting, but in a group setting its repetitive use typically serves to manipulate emotional reactions rather than advance tasks, which is why it’s categorized as non-supportive.
In summary, given the behavior of seeking sympathy through ongoing complaints, labeling this member as the whiner captures the essence of a non-supportive role that undercuts collaboration and progress within the group.
If future questions provide additional options, you would compare the specific labels to this behavior: identify which one corresponds to complaint-driven sympathy-seeking and explain why the others do not align with the described pattern.
