The punctuated equilibrium model of group development suggests that groups go through periods of stability (inertia) and then sudden bursts of progress toward goals before returning to stability. This model also acknowledges that groups do not necessarily move linearly from one stage to another, and that relational conflicts arise in various contexts and at different times. Therefore, all of the given statements reflect the punctuated equilibrium model of group development.
