Abstract
Assigned 20 female undergraduates to 4-person groups conducting discussions under 4 experimental reinforcement conditions and a control condition. An entirely automated feedback system was effective in changing participation rates and perceived group structure. Feedback provided on an individual basis was more effective than group feedback. Feedback also was more effective when it was perceived as applying to the individual rather than to the group as a whole. There was also evidence that, under group feedback, more actual behavior change was obtained when the feedback was perceived as applying to the individual. However, more change in perception of other group members was obtained when feedback was perceived as applying to the group as a whole.
