THE GROUP CREATION PROCESS IN BODILY EXPRESSION ACTIVITIES AS A SCENARIO FOR NEGOTIATION AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Abstract:

This article points out social interaction factors that facilitate and hinder the group creation process for designing a scenic composition. The study’s sample comprised 105 university students - 85 males and 20 females - aged 19.99 ± 2.78 on average, from the bachelor’s degree in Sciences of Physical Activity and Sport at EUSES, the University of Girona (Spain). Each group prepared a report on the creation process in which they reflected on those factors that facilitated or hindered said composition during the practical sessions of the subject Dance and Bodily Expression. Subsequently, content analysis was carried out on the group’s reports and Nvivo 11 software was used to process the data. The results showed that a) social interaction facilitates the group creation process and b) consensus is the main social interaction factor that facilitates it.
