Think of a situation (personal or hypothetical) where a newcomer came into a well-established group. How did the newcomer affect the task and social dimensions of the group?

Was the acceptance into the group a smooth process? If so, describe the strategies the newcomer employed to gain acceptance. If not, describe what went wrong.

If the newcomer acceptance was successful, describe the strategies established members of the group employed to make group socialization a smooth process. If not, describe what went wrong and what the newcomer could have done to facilitate group acceptance.
