In anisotropic plasmas, the radiative power emitted and the power observed per unit solid angle should be calculated along the direction of the group velocity vg. The two power functions referred differ by a product of two factors: one is the group Doppler factor and the other is the "squeezing effect" of the radiative energy due to the dependence vg on direction. In this paper, the group Doppler factor is derived using two different methods, and the relevant physical concepts are analyzed in detail. A number of numerical examples pertaining to astrophysical situations are presented to illustrate the significance of the group Doppler effect with respect to the "wave Doppler effect" which is valid in isotropic media.
