Abstract
The study considers the comparative interaction of the first meetings of high and low consensus groups, the first and final meetings of high consensus groups, and the first and final meetings of low consensus groups. Results indicated that the interaction was significantly different for all comparisons with Fisher Interaction Analysis System coding. However, Relational Communication System coding demonstrated significant differences for only the initial high and low consensus group meetings.Keywords
