question 4
teams with high levels of __ and __ deal with task conflict better than those without these characteristics.
extraversion; need for power
need for power; agreeableness
openness; emotional stability
need for affiliation; openness
need for achievement; extraversion

Explanation:

• For the first question: In group dynamics, a maintenance role focuses on keeping the group cohesive and positive. The statement "Let's accept and praise the various points of view" promotes harmony and positive interaction among group members, which is characteristic of a maintenance role. The other options either focus on task - related aspects (like addressing agenda items, setting goals) or problem - pointing (asking about the real issue) rather than group maintenance.
• For the second question: Teams with high levels of openness (willingness to consider new ideas) and emotional stability (ability to handle stress and conflict without excessive negative emotions) are better equipped to deal with task conflict. Extraversion (outgoingness) and need for power may not directly relate to handling task conflict in a positive way. Need for affiliation (desire for social connection) is more about relationships than task conflict resolution in the context of these traits.

Answer:

• First question: “Let’s accept and praise the various points of view.”
• Second question: openness; emotional stability
