Non-task contexts and social interaction in the social (psychological) dimension

  • Non-tasks contexts foster community building processes more than other tasks because non-task contexts often involve informal and casual conversation
  • These conversations involve an exchange of socio-emotional and affective information which lead to impression formation, creation of social relationships, group cohesion as well as a sense of community.
  • Previous research support this hypothesis
    • Causal conversations between students and teachers help create a positive learning environment.
    • Communities who were given non-task opportunities to interact had a stronger community environment.
