Personality and Social Psychology

Evolution has pretty much proved that human beings are social beings. "With a few notable exceptions (eg. Baumeister & Leary 1995) somewhat less attention has been paid to the power of social motives such as the need to be accepted by, connected with, and of value to other persons and social groups." I think everybody, or almost everybody, feels the need to ve wanted and accepted by socity, or by a social group.
In my college writing and soft skills classes we sometimes worked in groups of two to four on a project. Our grdes depended on the abilities and being able to work together on a project or an essay. This helps to get a person out of themselves and into working with others. It was quite interesting putting everyones ideas together and it was also fun.
