Description
Summary:The systematic study of interpersonal relations and productivity in natural isolated groups requires measurement techniques which are practicable for administration in groups operating under variable or extreme environmental conditions. In the present study simple questionnaire scales designed to measure group cooperation and effectiveness demonstrated acceptable reliability and were shown to relate consistently to an independent criterion of group effectiveness. Significant changes in social relations and group accomplishment were recorded in several of the Antarctic groups studied.
