This study explores how accurately participants in an encounter group perceive the leaders. Accuracy of the participants' perceptions were measured at the beginning and the end of the experience. Results show that group members' perceptions of the leaders were highly inaccurate. (Author)

This study examines value-attribution found in encounter groups. Group members tend to refer to themselves in neutralizing negative valuations. Group leaders were negative in describing group members. Published group transcripts are more positive than unpublished, private transcripts. (MFD)

This study is an initial report in a research program to examine the nature and influence of one set of structural variables--participation patterns--on patterns of interaction in sensitivity training groups. (Author)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the differential application of reinforcing and punishing light cues in the manipulation of verbal behavior and leadership status in small groups. (Author)

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of varying leader selection systems on the performance of political decision-making groups (judges).

This research explores the impact of leader behavior on individual group members in growth groups. Affect of message was found to be the only predictor of member-disclosure. Effects of leader-disclosure on member self-disclosure is difficult to interpret. (MFD)

The relationships were analyzed and can be compared best against the background of traditional approaches. (Author)
