When considering concepts of group development, what might explain this behavior? 1. They are experiencing problems with termination, leading to feelings of abandonment.
2. They did not think any new material would be covered at the last session.
3. They were angry with the leader for not extending the length of the group.
4. They were bored with the material covered in the group.

The termination phase of group development may elicit feelings of abandonment and anger. Successful termination may help members develop skills to cope with future unrelated losses.
