Both Heider's mathematicalformulafor balance criterion and Newcomb's three-category propositions regarding POX triads have been found untenable by the reported experimental research. Thisparadox is resolved by the two-factor approach, validity and parsimony of which is demonstrated by applying it to some of the POX data reported in earlier studies (see, for example, Jordan [1953], Rodrigues [1965], Aderman [1969], Gutman and Knox [1972], Insko et al.

In contrast to prior research that attempted to validate terminal results of gaming experiences, this study is concerned with appraising what transpires throughout the course ofplay. Only such aformative evaluation can test whether or not appropriate behaviors are rewarded and reinforced and lead to successful group performance. A taxonomy of six different decision-making and leadership styles is developed through the use of multiple research methods. Cohesion was found to be a significant factor in explaining high performance. It is proposed that high-performance teams develop as a highly cohesive group with high-performance norms.","PeriodicalId":285034,"journal":{"name":"Small Group Behavior","volume":"162 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116591895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two approaches are similar, but differ in their practical application. The negotiated order theory stresses power relationships within the informal structure, whereas symbolic interacting emphasizes the perception and exchange of meanings as the basis of interaction patterns. This article suggests that the concept of quasi-theories (Hewitt and Hall, 1973) may offer the link between these two schools of thought. The authors ground the proposal theory in a conceptually oriented case study of a small group within an academic organizational structure. A definition evolved that explains situational response principally in terms of the microsocial processes of cure selection and cure justification, based on the current culturally acceptable stock of meanings, rather than a heavy reliance upon macrosocial issues.","PeriodicalId":285034,"journal":{"name":"Small Group Behavior","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128692764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conversational involvement is assumed to be necessary and common to all types of groups, but groups achieving more cohesive involvement are expected to be relatively more effective. Cohesive talk was observed over time and across four psychotherapy groups led by self-disclosing or nondisclosing therapists; clients'perceptions of the process and outcome were assessed on multiple indicators. Despite individual therapist differences, the nondisclosing groups showed significantly more cohesive interactions throughout (and especially in the early phase) therapy. No differences were observed in clients'perceptions of therapists or their attraction to the group. On all indicators clients showed appreciable gains, but the nondisclosinggroups were relatively more successful. Differences in how self-disclosing and nondisclosing leaders elicit group involvement are discussed and the utility of semantic cohesion analysis in future work on group process is considered.","PeriodicalId":285034,"journal":{"name":"Small Group Behavior","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116926520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
