The theory of team territory and group marking from your text as related by William White\’s 1943 observation

Team territory and team marking focus on staking out claims to a specific object, situation, or area with the primary aim of ensuring other groups understand the claim. Therefore, the theory is all about control regardless of the consequences on frontline group members. Participant observation helps gain a more understanding and familiarity with a specific group of people, their beliefs, values, and, most important way of life (Whyte, 2019). The relation between the theory of team territory and tear marking can be seen in their focus on maintaining a tight grip on available resources. The focus, in this case, is to ensure effectiveness in maintaining absolute control in consideration involved team members over resources at the disposal. As a result, this helps gain a close and, most importantly, intimate familiarity with team members and their practices (Xu & Li, 2021). This case can only be achieved through an intensive involvement of people in consideration of their environments and over an extended time. 

Participant observation allows effectiveness in the establishments of rapport which helps in improving an understanding of team members, understanding the territory by connecting with team members, which helps to ensure one become accepted within a specific territory and by team members while recording observation and data which ensure effectiveness in understanding different factors and elements related to the involved group of people (Giovagnoli, 2019). Therefore, the relationship between the theory of team territory and tear marking can be seen in how they affect and influence each other with a primary objective of understanding a specific group of people, their beliefs, values, and other factors. This understanding is important as it helps one understand how best to fit and be accepted by a specific group of people.
