Small Groups and Political Behavior

Exploring the intersection of group dynamics and political processes, this book delves into the role of primary groups in shaping political behavior. It examines experimental approaches to understanding leadership, distinguishing between affective and instrumental styles. The text also discusses the norms governing group interactions and presents the participation hypothesis, assessing its implications through small group findings. With a structured layout that includes an introduction, multiple chapters on leadership, and a concluding note, it provides a comprehensive analysis of political engagement within group contexts.
