Some Theoretical Implications of Female and Male Interaction in Unstructured Small Groups.

Mabry, Edward A.

Small Group Behavior, v20 n4 p536-50 Nov 1989

Analyzed contrasting assumptions of three theoretical orientations used to explain mixed-sex small group interaction through observation of two mixed-sex, human relations training groups of undergraduate students (N=45). Found no support for sex-role differentiation or adaptation orientations but did find support for role-status expectation theory. (Author/CM)
