Levenstein, Joseph; And Others – Small Group Behavior, 1977
Tests the hypothesis that a response to a given feedback statement will be its reciprocal. In Phase 1, a pool of feedback statements was written and scaled along dimensions of power (dominance-submission) and affect (affection-hostility). In Phase 2, these statements were used as the basis for giving feedback and replying to it. (Author)

Biberman, Gerald – Small Group Behavior, 1979
Results of this study reflect changes in the T-group model suggested by authors in the literature. Trainers currently leading groups tend to differ in theoretical orientations. They appear to be running T-groups which frequently have a personal growth and individual orientation, although some still have a primarily group dynamics orientation.…

Dies, Robert R.; And Others – Small Group Behavior, 1979
Tests the hypothesis that openness between coleaders has a constructive effect on group process and outcome. Results of this investigation converge to support this prediction. Quality of group process and evaluations of leadership were positively and significantly associated. Similarly, ratings of coleadership correlated in a statistically…

Williams, J. Sherwood; And Others – Small Group Behavior, 1976
This paper analyzes development of group structure in terms of the stimulus-sampling perspective. Learning is the continual sampling of possibilities, with those reinforced possibilities increasing in probability of occurance. This contingency learning approach is tested experimentally. (NG)

Bell, Mae Arnold – Small Group Behavior, 1982
Reports analyses by topical cycle and group meeting of nine videotaped group discussions to extend Bales and Strodtbeck's often cited phase research.

Fisher, B. Aubrey – Small Group Behavior, 1979
Provides an insight into the group process of therapy and compares and contrasts the T-group process with therapy group process. The here-and-now orientation was present in T-group and therapy-group interaction. Greater relational conflict was present in the T-group. Members of the therapy group were much more defensive than members of the…

Shapiro, Ben Zion – Small Group Behavior, 1977
Examines some of the conditions associated with dissolution of the friendship tie. Subjects were 232 boys and girls between the ages of eight and 15 at a summer camp. The hypothesis that reduction in social interaction would be associated with increased probability of dissolution was not conclusively supported. (Author/HMV)
