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

Chapter Overview

This chapter focused on observing and evaluating groups. The following ground rules were established for observing groups: The observer should decide what he or she wants to observe, be careful to distinguish between judgments made on the basis of data and those that go beyond the data, try not to comment on everything that is observed, and balance the positive and the negative.

Instruments for collecting data were presented. They included interaction-observation forms, role-analysis forms, leadership-observation forms, and a variety of decision-making and performance-rating forms.
