Group Members' Decision Rule Orientations and Consensus.

Beatty, Michael J.

Human Communication Research, v16 n2 p279-96 Win 1989

Examines consensus as a function of group members' decision rule orientations. Finds that for groups that interacted verbally, consensus was more likely between groups composed of members with matching (rather than differing) rule orientations. Discusses implications for group consensus and the decision rule orientation construct. (MM)
