Research on small groups played a central role in the development of social psychology, but publication of such studies was seen to decline in recent decades. One explanation given is that the focus of the work shifted from general social psychological theories to practical applications for the specific types of groups studied, results of which appeared in publications geared to those specific concerns. The present collection gathers such studies once again in a social psychology context. The types of groups studied herein include educational, industrial, community activism, health care, and juries. Interaction over the Internet is also examined as a new paradigm of what constitutes a "group." Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Research on small groups played an important role in the early formulation of social psychology. By the 1970s, however, the field had lost the interest of most social psychologists. Theory and Research on Small Groups reintegrates that work back into the mainstream of social psychology. The more recent issues-oriented' approach has not only resulted in many interesting findings-it has also applied basic social psychological theory in new ways and, moreover, led to new theoretical developments that deserve more attention.
