4 characteristics differentiate groups in which membership is in a constant state of flux (open groups) as opposed to groups in which the membership is relatively stable (closed groups): time perspective, equilibrium, frame of reference, and changing group membership. The significance of these characteristics for social behavior was explored. A number of tested and testable propositions concerning group stability and social behavior emerged from a rapprochement of research, relevant subtheories, and concepts associated with open and closed group behavior. The failure to consider the dimension of group stability in most previous social psychological research poses a question concerning the generality of social-psychological theories which are based upon research which ignores the pervasive dimension of group stability.(2 p. ref.)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
