Page "Group dynamics" Paragraph 3

Ultimately, it was social psychologist Kurt Lewin ( 1890 – 1947 ) who coined the term group dynamics to describe the positive and negative forces within groups of people.

In 1945, he established The Group Dynamics Research Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the first institute devoted explicitly to the study of group dynamics.

Throughout his career, Lewin was focused on how the study of group dynamics could be applied to real-world, social issues.
