Cooperative problem solving groups of scientific researchers, auditors, financial analysts, air crash investigators, and forensic art experts are increasingly important in our complex and interdependent society. This comprehensive textbook--the first of its kind in decades--presents important theories and experimental research about group problem solving. The book focuses on tasks that have demonstrably correct solutions within mathematical, logical, scientific, or verbal systems, including algebra problems, analogies, vocabulary, and logical reasoning problems. The book explores basic concepts in group problem solving, social combination models, group memory, group ability and world knowledge tasks, rule induction problems, letters-to-numbers problems, evidence for positive group-to-individual transfer, and social choice theory. The conclusion proposes ten generalizations that are supported by the theory and research on group problem solving. Group Problem Solving is an essential resource for decision-making research in social and cognitive psychology, but also extremely relevant to multidisciplinary and multicultural problem-solving teams in organizational behavior, business administration, management, and behavioral economics. 606 $aGroup problem solving 606 $aSmall groups 606 $aProblem solving 610 $aIGI design. 610 $aIII design. 610 $aU.S. Constitution. 610 $aalgebra. 610 $acollective group response. 610 $acollective induction. 610 $acommon knowledge effect. 610 $aconceptual system. 610 $acooperative group. 610 $acooperative groups. 610 $acooperative problem solving. 610 $ademonstrability. 610 $agroup ability composition. 610 $agroup ability. 610 $agroup choice. 610 $agroup judgment. 610 $agroup members. 610 $agroup memory. 610 $agroup performance. 610 $agroup problem solving. 610 $agroup process. 610 $agroup product. 610 $agroup recognition memory. 610 $agroup response. 610 $agroup structure. 610 $agroup task. 610 $agroup tasks. 610 $agroup-to-individual problem-solving. 610 $ahigh-ability persons. 610 $ahypothesis evaluation. 610 $ahypothesis formation. 610 $aindividual problem solving. 610 $ainduction. 610 $ainformation. 610 $aintellective tasks. 610 $aintellective-judgmental continuum. 610 $ajudgmental tasks. 610 $aletters-to-numbers problems. 610 $alogical reasoning. 610 $alow-ability persons. 610 $amedium-ability persons. 610 $amember characteristics. 610 $amember preferences. 610 $aproblem solving. 610 $arule induction problems. 610 $asocial choice theory. 610 $asocial combination models. 610 $asocial combination processes. 610 $asocial decision scheme. 610 $asocietal decisions. 610 $asocietal problem solving. 610 $asupportive group memory. 610 $avoting procedures. 610 $avoting systems. 610 $aworld knowledge tasks. 615 0$aGroup problem solving. 615 0$aSmall groups. 615 0$aProblem solving. 676 $a658.4/036 700 $aLaughlin$b Patrick R.$f1934-$01540454 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781492003321 996 $aGroup problem solving$93792112 997 $aUNINA
