  2. Overview • Mischievous Boy named Max • Mixture of rage and imagination is basis of story. • Travels to a far away land where the wild things live. • Has fun, but misses home • Returns home and his supper is waiting

  3. Relating To Theories • The whole book is a reflection on rage and anger against people (mother), and how to overcome this anger. • Five Theories: • Tuckman’s Theory • Psychology of Meeting/Environment • When Does a Group Become A Group • Resolving Conflict • Love Your Passengers

  4. Tuckman’s Theory • Storming: • Mother and Max not seeing eye to eye • Mother wants Max to stop causing mischief • Max wants to keep causing mischief • A conflict arises and Max is sent to his room

  5. Psychology Of Environment • Metaphor for the rage inside of Max • Barkers and Biters: • I’ll never agree with this proposal • You’re all stupid and wrong • Throw temper tantrums to get their way • Opposing Barkers and Biters: • Stay Calm and Breath • Hold Your Ground • Wait Out Their Outbursts

  6. When Does A Group Look Like A Group • Group and Team are not the same concept • Group = • Common Fate: Experience interrelated outcomes • Similarity: Behaviors resemble one another • Proximity: Wild Things are very close to each other • “For example, the spectators at a football game may seem to be a disorganized mass of individuals who happen to be in the same place at the same time, but the tendency of the spectators to shout the same cheer, express similar emotions, and move together to create a “wave” gives them entitativity” – Donald T. Campbell • Wild Things = Group

  7. Resolving Conflict • Three Steps: • Prepare For Resolution: Max’s anger subsides. • Understand Situation: Was sent to room for bad behavior. • Reach Agreement: Accept punishment and move on.

  8. Love Your Passengers • In order to make the experience enjoyable, you have to show love to the people you are with. • No arguments should ever be the cause of separation, especially when it comes to family. • You need to do what you have to do to show love to your family and friends.

  9. Relation To My Family • Main Theme – Resolving Conflict • Disagreements occur all the time. • Storming Stage of Tuckman’s Theory • Psychology of Environment takes place: • Barkers and Biters • Silent Snuffers

  10. Relation To My Family • Resolution takes TIME • Both parties need to be prepared to resolve and forgive. • Deep down, we all love each other • Consensus isn’t always reached, but sometimes you do something because you know it makes the person you love happy. • Forgive, Resolve, and Move on
