MOTIVATIONAL EFFECTS ON GROUP PROCESSES

研究计划的总体长期目标是研究如何 认知闭合的需要影响群体过程的主要方面 反映集团中保守态度演变的方式 会员。更具体地说，以下是我们感兴趣的问题 已调查： I.小组成员关闭的需要是否会影响首选的类型 领导力和决策规则。 二、集团成员关闭需求是否影响状态分配 集团内的流程。 三、集团成员关闭的需要是否会影响集团如何处理 变化(具体指成员的转移和集团的变化-- 任务)。 四、集团成员关闭的需要是否影响集团内部关系， 尤其是少数人和多数人之间的问题。 五、集团成员关闭的需要是否影响集团间关系， 尤其是具有外群组成员与内群组成员的那些。 所有上述问题都与个人在其中发挥作用的主要方式有关 组。了解这些问题可能会对健康产生重要的影响 无论是在改善个人对群体的适应方面，他们的 在团队中以最佳方式运作的能力和团队的能力 最大限度地为个人的福利做出贡献。共有15项研究 建议的设计目的是允许集中验证 通过对需要的多重操作化的理论概念 结案了。

The general long term objectives of the research program are to study how the need for cognitive closure affects major aspects of group process in ways reflecting the evolution of a conservative attitude among the group members. More specifically, the following issues of interest will be investigated: I. Whether group members' need for closure affects the preferred type of leadership and decision-making rules. II. Whether group members' need for closure affects the status-allocation processes within the group. III. Whether group members' need for closure affects how it deals with change (in specific reference to membership-shifts and variation in group- tasks). IV. Whether group members' need for closure affects intra-group relations, in particular those between a minority and the-majority. V. Whether group members' need for closure affects inter-group relations, in particular those with outgroup vs. ingroup members. All the above issues bear on major ways in which individuals function in groups. Understanding those matters may have important health consequences both in terms of improving individuals' adjustment to groups, their ability to optimally function in groups and the ability of groups to optimally contribute to individuals' welfare. Altogether fifteen studies are proposed designed to allow convergent validation of the central theoretical notions through multiple operationalizations of the need for closure.
