Stages of Group Development: An Empirical Test of Tuckman's Hypothesis

Runkel, Philip J.; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, 7, 2, 180-193, Mar-Apr 71

A study was made of small workgroups, each of which was assigned to complete an empirical investigation. These workgroups were observed by students. The framework for the observations was Tuckman's (1965) proposed model of group development. The goal was to test the fit of Tuckman's model to the actual development of the workgroups observed in the classroom setting. (Author)
