Orientation and Role in the Small Group

Abstract

there is a simultaneous suggestion of the need for developing techniques for doing so. How do we measure group approval? To what extent can group-approval functions be defined in such a way as to exhibit stability over time? Do group norms exist that cannot be portrayed in the two-dimensional space utilized in the models suggested here? If such norms exist, what type of conceptual model can fruitfully be applied in their analysis? These are some of the unanswered questions that have high priority in the possible further development of a theory of group-approval functions.
