Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the norming stage of group development, members start to develop a sense of shared purpose and establish norms and expectations for behavior within the group. This leads to increased cohesiveness (members feel a sense of belonging and connection to the group) and commitment (members are invested in achieving the group's goals). The forming stage is focused on introductory activities and getting to know each other; storming is marked by conflicts and power struggles; performing is when the group is working together to achieve its goals, but cohesiveness and commitment have already been established in the norming stage.
