Storytelling effects : on individual´s perceived sense of belonging and affinity sense of belonging (English)
Abstract [en]

Using the communication tool storytelling, in group processes is very popular. Storytelling can be used to motivate group members to collaborate and pursue common goals. Humans have many different needs, but one of the biggest and most important, besides food and water, is the need to belong. The need to belong can be met by being involved in different group constellations. A well-tested model in group psychology is the FIRO model, which suggests that all groups go through different stages in their work towards pursuing their common goal. How well the group manages to create the unity that the individuals in the group strive for depends on how well the group works in the respective stages. The purpose of this essay is to investigate whether individuals feel that they have a stronger sense of belonging and faster achieve an affinity sense of belonging to their assigned group, if storytelling is used as a communication tool. A quantitative research method has been implemented by collecting databased on an experimental study. Ninety questionnaires were collected and analyzed, where the participants were divided into two different experimental groups. Based on a scenario they were then asked to answer the questionnaire where half of the surveys contained a scenario with storytelling, and the other half contained a scenario without storytelling. From the essays result, it was found that storytelling contributes to individuals feeling a stronger sense of belonging to their assigned group. Storytelling does however not contribute to individuals faster achieving an affinity sense of belonging to their fellow group members. The essays results aim to be applied to different types of working groups. By a working group, we refer to different types of groups within different subjects such as professional groups, study groups and training groups etcetera. In this essay, these groups will be referred to as assigned groups. This is done to minimize the risk that the reader will confine themselves to focusing solely on working groups within organizations. The following essay is written in Swedish.

Abstract [sv]

Användning av kommunikationsverktyget storytelling inom grupprocesser är idag mycketpopulärt. Storytelling kan användas för att motivera deltagare i arbetsgrupper att samarbeta och sträva mot gemensamma mål. Människor har många olika behov men ett av de största och viktigaste, förutom mat och vatten, är att känna tillhörighet till andra människor. Behovet av tillhörighet kan uppnås genom att en individ är delaktig i olika gruppkonstellationer. En välbeprövad modell inom gruppsykologi är FIRO-modellen som antyder att grupper går igenom olika faser. Hur väl gruppen lyckas skapa den samhörighet som individerna i gruppen strävar efter beror på hur väl gruppen samarbetar i de respektive faserna. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om individer upplever att de får en starkare tillhörighetskänsla och snabbare uppnår en samhörighetskänsla till sin tilldelade grupp med hjälp av storytelling. En kvantitativ forskningsmetod har genomförts genom insamling av data utifrån en experimentstudie. 90 besvarade enkäter har tagits in och analyserats, där studiens deltagare delades in i två olika experimentgrupper. Utifrån ett scenario fick de sedan svara på enkäten där hälften av enkäterna innehöll ett scenario med storytelling och den andra hälften innehöll ett scenario utan storytelling. Av studiens resultat visade det sig att storytelling bidrar till att individer känner en starkare tillhörighet till sin tilldelade grupp, men att storytelling inte bidrar till att individerna i gruppen snabbare uppnår en samhörighetskänsla. Studiens resultat ämnar appliceras på olika typer av arbetsgrupper. Med en arbetsgrupp menar vi olika typer av grupper inom olika ämnen såsom yrkesgrupper, studiegrupper och träningsgrupper med mera. I studien kommer dessa grupper att benämnas som tilldelade grupper för att minimera risken att läsaren avgränsar sig till att enbart fokusera på en organisations arbetsgrupper.
