Personality structure, group composition, and group functioning

The relation between the level of cognitive abstractness of the members of groups composed homogeneously and the behaviors of such groups were investigated. It was hypothesized that differences in behavior and performance between groups of different composition were predictable on the basis of the theory used for classifying individuals. Dispositional factors were found to be major determinants of group behavior and worthy of intensive study. On the basis of preknowledge of individual personality structure, and using groups composed homogeneously, a number of group behaviors could be predicted quite accurately. Groups of different composition were found to behave differently (such differences being systematic), and that the theory of individual personality, originated by Harvey, Hunt, and Schroder (1961), yields highly predictive results. Abstractness of individual personality structure, and consequent abstractness of group structure, appear to be meaningful dimensions
