Wilson: Groups in Context
Groups in Context: Leadership and Participation in Small Groups, 6/e
Gerald L. Wilson, University of South Alabama-Mobile


Feature Summary

  • Each chapter encourages students to analyze their own communication behavior and to place that behavior in a group context. For example, this book includes exceptionally thorough coverage of leadership and conflict -- and not merely from the view of a designated leader but from the view of all potential group participants.
  • The text continues to focus on task-oriented and decision-making groups.
  • A "troubleshooting guide" can be found at the end of the text; the guide is organized around the questions most commonly asked by students and clients.
  • Two popular boxes, "Focus on Research" and "Question of Ethics and Responsibility", have been retained in the new edition.
