Group influence entails both negative and positive implications on an individual’s behavior,
(Paulus, 2015). There is social cohesion in group members where members who share interests,
values, ethnic backgrounds, religion or representations are brought together with a common goal.
Through interaction with people in a group, people gain diverse experiences. Communication
skills develop through individual contributions to the group, courage is built up and members
learn the process of coming up with a group and its characteristics. The group behaviors and
communication patterns influence social facilitation through activation, paying attention to
theories and evaluation, (Paulus, 2015). Social facilitation is identified through improved
performance as a result of the presence of others. Social facilitation enables a person to do better
in small task when other people are watching and people can get motivation from a new
perspective.
In the physical environment, the people were arranged in an interaction set up. In this type of
seating arrangement, there is great facilitation of interaction, (Kasandrova, 2016). A hollow
square style was used in the room set up. Through this style, all the group members were into
direct eye contact with each other which enabled a more natural construct to communicate as an
entire unit. The composition of the group included the young, aged 14 to 19 years, the young
adults aged 20 to 35 years and those aged from 36 to 40 years. Both men and women were
included in the groups, in the same ratio. The education background was different and all of them
were of the same ethnicity.
A group's purpose, mission, and goal are known through the group's mission statement.
According to Aird, (2019). The group's mission shall be to advocate of a society free of Gender-
Based Violence and full of equality. the vision of the group is to create a community free of

Gender-Based Violence. The goals of the group shall be boosting societal roles, improving the
status of both men and women, Explore the issues affecting both men and women, provide
solutions to Gender-Based violence and strengthen relationships in the society of all ages.
The duration of the group shall be long term. This is because the research process involves data
collection, data sampling, data analysis and coming up with the conclusions. It is a slow process
that involves the analysis of the research question, /problem, designing the research project,
collecting data in this case based on focus groups, interpreting data, data analysis, and reporting
the findings of the research, (Neil, Hanton, Fleming, & Wilson, 2013). The most time-consuming
process is data collection because various sampling techniques must be used to obtain data from
the community which is done at the pace of the respondents.
The group structured itself with an agenda. The agenda was based on the topic of discussion. In
the first meeting, the members shall be let to know each other through self-introduction, set a
schedule for how often the group shall be meeting, and then establish goals. Out of the group,
every member shall know how their social gender roles are affected by gender-based violence,
the contributing factors to gender-based violence and how this issue can be solved, ("Where
comic ideas come from (and how to cultivate them)," 2018). Everyone is expected to give
feedback in a supportive environment and even use writing skills to give information. Everyone
shall embark on a common group's ambition.
The group is organized by having questions to guide it in the subtopics of the main topic, "How
to Organize Your Persuasive Presentation," 2019). These questions are written where people are
supposed to fill in the answers. some questions are answered orally after they are asked by the
group's facilitators. The group was organized through coaching structures, through
