During a departmental meeting, Zora listens to everyone's ideas and when it seems like everyone is on the same page, she adds, "This all sounds great to me. I'll go along with it." By making this remark, Zora appears to occupy which group role?

a) compromiser
b) recorder
c) information giver
d) follower


Answer: d) follower

In a group situation, an individual who adopts the follower role is someone who accepts and goes along with what his or her group members say, regardless of whether or not he or she has contributed to the group discussion. A follower might be a passive member of the group who listens to others without voicing his or her opinion on the matter being discussed.
