Florida Fire Instructor 1 Practice Exam

How can setting positive group norms prevent negative situations in your training program?

1. By starting with a difficult exam

2. With an opening exercise

3. By having a strict rulebook

4. By ignoring negative behavior

The correct answer is: With an opening exercise

Positive group norms refer to the unwritten standards and expectations that are established within a group. These norms can be shaped by the behavior and actions of the group's members. By starting with an opening exercise, the trainer can set a positive tone for the training program and establish positive group norms. This can help prevent negative situations from arising as the group will be more likely to follow the established norms and hold each other accountable. The other options are incorrect because a difficult exam may create a negative and intimidating atmosphere, a strict rulebook may be too rigid and limit creativity and collaboration, and ignoring negative behavior may lead to it escalating and causing further issues in the training program.
