  • The emerging conceptualization of groups as information processors

    Verlin B Hinsz, R Scott Tindale et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin1997Cited by: 54

    A selective review of research highlights the emerging view of groups as information processors. In this review, the authors include research on processing objectives, attention, encoding, storage, retrieval, processing, response, feedback, and learning in small interacting task groups.

  • Strategic Decision-Making Tasks and Group Effectiveness

    Open AccessFrances J Milliken, David A VollrathARTICLEHuman Relations1991Cited by: 7References: 52

    Strategic decision-making is a critically important aspect of top managers' jobs. Although researchers have addressed the issue of how groups ought to be constructed to handle strategic decision making effectively, there has been little attention paid to the idea that different subtasks of the strategic decision-making process might have different task requirements.

    This article reviews a program of research on how groups reason about moral dilemmas, and presents data from two studies. In the first study, discussions of 21 four-member groups were tape recorded, coded, and analyzed to identify the factors that affected group performance. The data indicated that a group's moral reasoning level (as measured by Rest's Defining Issues Test) seemed to depend on whether more principled reasoning members took a task…

  • Asymmetrical social influence in freely interacting groups

    R Scott Tindale, Janet Haggerty Davis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1990Cited by: 14References: 10

    Using freely interacting mock juries, this study tested the predictions of 3 different models of social influence: social impact theory, the other-total ratio, and the social influence model. All 3 models use faction size as the basis for their predictions. On the basis of the predeliberation verdict preferences of 879 female students, groups were composed using all possible nonunanimous verdict compositions (e.g., 5 members for 1 for not guilty,…
