Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stage in which interpersonal problems arise is the storming stage. If a group remains in this stage for too long, it can affect their ability to complete the task at hand. The performing stage is the stage where the group is focused on achieving the task, and the norming stage is where the group establishes norms and cohesion. The controlling stage is not a commonly recognized stage of group development. The adjourning stage is the stage where the task is completed and the group disbands.
