Riassunto

Excerpt from A Theory of Group Decision Behavior

The investigation of group decision-making behavior raises a number of intriguing issues. Not the least of these are such questions as: Can a group's decision behavior with respect to a specific task be explained (predicted) from a knowledge of the decision processes of the individual participants? In what manner and by what mechanism does the process of arriving at a group decision affect the decision procedures of the individuals concerned? How and under what conditions do the psychological characteristics of each individual affect the group's decision-making behavior? Although there are many other questions which could be asked about the decision procedures of groups, this paper is principally concerned with presenting an answer to the first-to wit, a theory is proposed which from a knowledge of the decision processes of the individual members is sufficient to account for a group's decision behavior. However,/while little attention is directed toward the remaining two questions, it is our opinion that the theory of group decision behavior as well as the method by which it is subjected to test provide a basis from which their answers can be readily developed. Accordingly, a discussion of these items is left until the end with the major part of the paper being devoted to the development and testing of.
