本研究试图从种族或民族身份之外的个人特征差异来解释多元文化任务组中少数和多数成员之间的贡献不平衡。自愿参与决策练习的商科学生根据性别和少数族裔身份被分成四人一组。总共形成了41个多元文化团体。之后，参与者分别完成了关于经历和个人特征的问卷调查。低沟通能力、低非男性化和高女性化与少数民族地位和低决策贡献相关。作为一个整体，个人变量比少数民族身份单独解释了对决策贡献的更多差异。此外，高贡献的少数民族似乎是受需要的驱使，这与高贡献的非少数民族不同。讨论了这些发现对多元文化群体促进者的影响。
This study sought to explain the contribution imbalance between minority and majority members of multicultural task groups in terms of differences in personal characteristics outside of racial or ethnic identity. Business students who volunteered to participate in a decision-making exercise were assigned to four-person groups on the bases of sex and minority status. A total of 41 multicultural groups were formed. Aftenvard, participants individually completed questionnaires on the experience and their personal characteristics. Low comnmnunication competetce, low inasculinity, and highfemininity were associated both with minority status and with low contribution to decision making. As a block the personal variables explained more variance in contribution to decision making than did minority status alone. In addition, high contributing minorities appeared to be motivated by needs unlike those of high contributing nonminorities. The implications of these findings for facilitators of multicultural groups are discussed.
