Explaining Individual Communication Processes in Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Groups through Individualism-Collectivism and Self-Construal.
Oetzel, John G.
Human Communication Research, v25 n2 p202-24 Dec 1998
Investigates the effective decision-making theory's (EDMT) prediction that cultural individualism-collectivism, self-construal, and group composition influence turn-taking behavior and conflict behavior in small groups. Finds, for example, that independent self-construal is a predictor of the number of turns and competitive conflict tactics in both homogeneous and heterogeneous groups of European-American and Japanese community college students.
