People often describe the delivery of group criticism as a 'minefield', because of the potential for mistrust, hostility and defensiveness. When it comes to group criticism, being right is not enough; one must also obey certain conventions that are designed to minimize hurt and denial. In this project we explore for the first time what these 'rules of engagement' are, and what this means for those who wish to promote positive change in groups. This will have applied implications in that it will help provide specific recommendations regarding how to negotiate sensitive issues within a range of cultural, national, and corporate groups.

人们经常将群体批评的交付描述为“雷区”，因为有潜在的不信任，敌对和防御能力。 当涉及小组批评时，正确是不够的。还必须遵守某些旨在最大程度地减少伤害和否认的惯例。在这个项目中，我们首次探索了这些“参与规则”是什么，这对于那些希望促进群体积极变化的人意味着什么。 这将应用含义，因为它将有助于提供有关如何在文化，国家和公司群体中谈判敏感问题的具体建议。
