Does mental practice enhance performance?
Mental practice is the cognitive rehearsal of a task prior to performance. Although most researchers contend that mental practice is an effective means of enhancing performance, a clear consensus is precluded because (a) mental practice is often denned so loosely as to include almost any type of mental preparation and (b) empirical results are inconclusive. A meta-analysis of the literature on mental practice was conducted to determine the effect…
The relation between group cohesiveness and performance: An integration
This paper reports on a meta-analytic integration of the relation between group cohesiveness and performance. Overall, the cohesiveness-performance effect was highly significant and of small magnitude. Several theoretically informative determinants of the cohesiveness-performance effect were examined. This effect was significantly stronger when cohesiveness was operationalized in terms of measurements of group members' perceptions of cohesiveness…
In-group-out-group differences in social projection
Most studies of Allport's notion of social projection have addressed in-group social projection (the perceived prevalence of one's own position within the in-group). The possibility of out-group social projection (the perceived prevalence of one's own position within the out-group) has been suggested, but the specific patterns of out-group social projection have never been established. This paper reports the results of three studies which directl…
Boundaries Around Group Interaction: A Meta-Analytic Integration of the Effects of Group Size
We report a meta-analytic integration that summarizes American research by psychologists on the effects of group size on the permeability of group boundaries. Results indicate that the tendency for larger groups to have less permeable boundaries is highly significant but of small magnitude. This impermeability generally increases as a function of the relative size of the larger group and decreases as a function of the interpersonal distance betwe…
