商品簡介
US contributors in sociology, leadership, and business administration are the authors of these selected papers from the August 2013 Annual Conference for Theory and Research on Group Processes. The book begins with an overview of the impact of the conference on small groups research over the past 25 years. The next five papers review influential theory and research programs in group processes research: expectation states theory, identity theory, relational cohesion and person-to-group ties, affect control theory, and elementary theory. The final three papers offer new insights into other well-established realms of the group processes tradition, such as social networks and status processes in groups. The book is distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
