APPLICATION OF A NEW SYSTEM OF INTERACTION ANALYSIS TO THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LEADER ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIOR IN PROBLEM SOLVING GROUPS.
Abstract
A new system of interaction analysis was applied to the transcripts of 54, three-man problem solving groups on two tasks. The behavior of groups and leaders was studied. Significant behavioral changes were found across tasks and from stage to stage within tasks. These changes were shown to affect the relationships between leader attitudes and behavior. The behavioral effects of leader attitudes, alone and in combination with stress conditions and leader intelligence, were presented and discussed. The results were related to past studies on the interpretation of leader LPC scores and to future studies attempting to relate specific behaviors to group creativity in solving problems. (Author)
