Publisher's Synopsis
Forsyth provides a thorough and comprehensive introduction to the behaviour of small groups, looking at all phases of group behaviour and providing many examples to stimulate reader interest. The text covers both traditional topics and newer topic areas that have generated recent research. Forsyth balances theory and research and cites the work of researchers in a variety of fields, including sociology, psychology, business, and social welfare. Compared to most textbooks in this area, the primary virtue of Forsyth continues to be his comprehensive coverage of all the group literature in a readable, entertaining, and easy-to-understand style.;This book should be of interest to students on psychology courses.
