This is a study of how decisions are made in small groups. It tests and extends a new model of interaction previously developed by one of the investigators and already considered an important advance. The model takes into account the effects of status differences among group members and how their interaction develops to predict patterns of interaction and the emergence of structures of inequality. The model has the added advantage of taking into account the effects of non-participants on outcomes. Data are collected from 80 four-person groups that vary in status characteristics. %%% The research will contribute to a fundamental understanding of how groups reach decisions by taking into account the status characteristics that individuals bring to the group, their expectations about distributions of power, and the nature of the task performed. Carefully collected data will be prepared to form a data bank for other small group researchers.

这是对如何在小组中做出决策的研究。 它测试并扩展了一个先前由研究人员开发的新的相互作用模型，并且已经考虑了重要的进步。 该模型考虑了小组成员之间状态差异的影响，以及他们的相互作用如何发展以预测相互作用的模式和不平等结构的出现。 该模型具有考虑非参与者对结果的影响的附加优势。 数据是从80个四人组中收集的，这些四人组的状态特征不同。 %%％％研究将通过考虑个人带给小组的状态特征，对权力分配的期望以及执行任务的性质，从而有助于对群体如何做出决策的基本理解。 精心收集的数据将准备为其他小组研究人员组建数据库。
