Peer reviewedBeatty, Michael J. – Human Communication Research, 1989

Finds that for groups that interacted verbally, consensus was more likely between groups composed of members with matching (rather than differing) rule orientations. Discusses implications for group consensus and the decision rule orientation construct. (MM)
