During a conflict resolution group, Mel (the facilitator) chooses her words carefully when making observations about the group’s general behavior. She pays particular attention to ensure her comments are nonjudgmental in nature. Why is Mel MOST likely successful in her efforts to create and support group cohesion?
Answer
A
Her nonjudgmental comments are a neutral way of holding members accountable.
B
Her nonjudgmental comments require highly developed group facilitation skills.
C
Her nonjudgmental comments show that she is paying attention to some people in the group.
D
Her nonjudgmental comments let group members know there are consequences for their actions.
Explanation
Nonjudgmental observations describe what is happening without blaming or criticizing anyone. This allows Mel to address the group’s behavior and encourage accountability while keeping the discussion respectful and safe, which supports cohesion. Choice A is correct because it identifies this neutral way of holding members accountable; the other choices do not explain how nonjudgmental comments build cohesion.
