Abstract
In this article we present a new system for analyzing group interaction process. The Time-by-Event-by-Member Pattern Observation (TEMPO) system provides a flexible set of coding categories applicable to a wide range of group task performance setting, and is usueful in the study of a wide range of conceptual issues. Of special importance is that TEMPO is designed to permit the investigator to tie group interaction process to indices of group task performance effectiveness, and to individual member contribution to the group''s task product, and that the system can be used for groups doing a wide range of types of tasks. We discuss several indices of group process that can be derived from TEMPO, and contrast the system to other systems designed for similar proposes.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
