MULTIPLE METHODS IN THE LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF SMALL GROUPS UNDER STRESS

Abstract

The investigation was an attempt to assess the convergent and discriminant validity of the key variables of influence, affect, and activity in small group research by conducting a systematic study which followed and extended a multitrait-multimethod paradigm. Analyses disclosed widespread method variance among all rating methodologies. The implications of the findings for small group research and for research in social and psychological stress are discussed.
