Abstract

Abstract Using data collected from a year‐long qualitative study, this article explores the nature of group‐related constraints within the social world of contract bridge. Constraints are initially discussed in terms of diminished popularity of bridge in the United States among younger generations. Next, interpersonal constraints that are linked to group processes within bridge groups are explored. These processes are described in terms of their controlling influence on individual involvement. Finally, a discussion of how constraints arise as a result of individual differences among group members is presented.
