Pace, Roger C.

Small Group Research: An International Journal of Theory, Investigation, and Application, v21 n1 p79-96 Feb 1990

Assessed relationship between group's ability to differentiate characteristics of conflict and consensus/cohesion formulation among 141 subjects in 32 problem-solving discussions. Determined that high consensus groups had significantly higher differentiation scores on depersonalized/positive and depersonalized/negative conflict than did low cohesion groups, who scored higher on personalized/negative conflict.
