STRUCTURAL CHANGE IN SMALL ISOLATED GROUPS

Abstract

Men who had spent twelve months at one of three Antarctic research stations (N ranging from 17 to 33) provided information at two time periods concerning work, formal communication, and off-duty friendship interactions. The purpose of the study was to ascertain the extent to which group structure changed in any of these three domains of interaction over a six-month period. From an analysis of direct, indirect, and reciprocal choices there were no general change patterns common to all station groups or all types of interaction.
