Abstract

“This paper reports an experiment on the performance of small social groups with restricted channels of communication.” Central members of 2 kinds of group structures, “wheel” and “circle,” were selected on the basis of being either popular or unpopular. Groups that are formed on the basis of a “wheel” seem to function better than “circle” groups or wheel groups with unpopular leaders. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
