作者通过要求小组成员将某个结果的责任分配给每个小组成员来研究有关小组中责任分散的问题：随着小组规模的扩大，责任是否会更加分散，但最终在更大的小组中趋于平稳？责任是否平均分配，每个成员得到同等的份额，还是集中在某些个人身上？团队成员是否以最大化自尊的方式分配责任？二人组在失败后将主要责任归咎于他人，而不是成功，但四人组倾向于承担失败的责任。但总体而言；责任的分散与团体规模成正比，因为团体成员将更多的责任集中在某些团体成员身上，并通过特定的角色分配而免除其他成员的责任。团体成员对个别成员对绩效的贡献的看法存在很大程度的共识，但成员普遍认为他们对团体的贡献比其他成员更多。
The authors examined questions about diffusion of responsibility in groups by asking group members to apportion responsibility for an outcome to each group member: Does responsibility diffuse more as groups increase in size but eventually level off in larger groups? Does responsibility diffuse equally, with each member getting an equal portion, oris it concentrated on certain individuals? Do group members apportion responsibility in ways that maximize their own self-esteem? Dyads attributed mare responsibility to others after failure than success, but four-person groups tended to take the blame for failure. Overall, however; responsibility diffused in proportion to group size as group members concentrated more responsibility on some group members and withheld responsibility from others through specific role allocations. There was a significant degree of consensus in group members' perceptions of individual members' contributions to performance, but members generally felt they contributed more to the group than did other members.
