R. Ikuenobe Osolease – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The purpose of this study is to identify the best model that explains the relationship between conflicting risk structures and decision quality. Using confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical regression techniques as statistical methods, the author confirmed that changes in the conflicting risk structures correlated with changes in decision…

McElhiney, Julie S.; Plax, Timothy G. – 1972
Operational definitions of two key variables in group communication can provide a theoretical perspective for considering communication behavior in group research: "risk taking," the tendency to prefer long shots with higher payoffs over sure things with lower payoffs; and the "risky-shift" phenomenon, the finding that after…

Jhangiani, Arjan K. – 1971
This paper is an analysis of some of the literature concerning group mediated risk taking. Jhangiani explores Brown's V-theory, which states that members of a society try to realize its cultural ideals in their behavior; Nordhoy's theory of cultural values, which states that "In the group, the impact of values which are commonly accepted in the…

Cline, Timothy R.; Cline, Rebecca J. – Southern Speech Communication Journal, 1979
Identifies and compares the patterns of communication of groups making risky and cautious decision shifts. Risky- and cautious-shift group discussions displayed nonrandom and statistically different distributional and sequential structures. Findings are discussed in terms of two explanations of the risky- shift phenomenon. (JMF)

Knowles, Eric S. – 1972
The question whether individual study of risk problems (familiarization) leads to greater risk taking was investigated. Several explanations of the risk taking shifts are explicit in their requirement for group or social interaction. Investigations of whether risk shifts can be produced in the absence of group interaction have produced conflicting…

Jensen, Marian – 1980
Studies published in the last five years (since 1975) concerning how groups behave, with particular emphasis on implications for the administrator who wishes to deal more effectively with groups, are reviewed. The 25 studies represent 11 journals, written by authors from six related disciplines. For discussion purposes, the studies are divided…
