11.19 - Belongingness Conceptual Background

At the beginning of class today, project teams had 15 minutes to meet and attend to business related to their projects.

We then used the rest of the class to review the conceptual background for Baumeister and Leary's argument for belongingness as a fundamental human motivation (if you need a copy of this reading, see Mr. Collins).

Everyone took notes on how Baumeister and Leary defined these elements as we discussed them in class. We will look at specific sections of this paper tomorrow.

Homework:

If you did not do so in class, finish identifying the specifics of the eight criteria outlined by Baumeister and Leary to establish belongingness as a fundamental human motivation.

Work associated with your project as appropriate.

Update your project team's task schedule and contact log as appropriate.
