In afirst experiment groups offivesubjects solved problems while seated at either a circular or a rectangular table. The leader's position at the end of the rectangular table enhanced his ability to direct the group. Leaders of the circular table did not benefit from a privileged position and were forced to ease group tension arising from competing solutions put forth by group members. In the second study, the experimenter either actively intervened in afour-member discussion or refrained. The groups all discussed at a circular table before moving to a rectangular table in a different room. Before-after comparisons of the seats chosen were made. Choice of seats at the rectangular table reflected the social relations that developed in the first part of the experiment
