A small group is a fundamental interaction unit for achieving a shared goal. Group performance can be automatically predicted using computational methods to analyze members’ verbal behavior in task-oriented interactions, as has been proven in several recent works. Most of the prior works focus on lower-level verbal behaviors, such as acoustics and...

This study adopted the SCP model as the theoretical framework to examine the competition–diversity relationship in Taiwan’s terrestrial television market from 1986 to 2002. This study analyzed 44,432 programs that were randomly selected from the 17-year period. The data analysis shows that media diversity did not increase as minor inter-competition...

This review illuminated the need for interdisciplinary integration of research on personality and groups. Network analysis of references cited in 13 previous reviews showed that this literature is fragmented; the disciplinary base has narrowed over time; is dominated by psychology, organization studies, and small group studies; and is poorly integr...

A survey study (N = 223) of participants in the social virtual world, Second Life, examined the relationship between Big Five personality factors, experiences in the virtual world and reports of changes to real life resulting from the virtual world experiences. Hypotheses about direct and indirect effects of personality on real life changes were te...

An experiment compared interaction process and task performance of groups composed of members with high or low preference for procedural order, assigned to an individual or group process accountability condition. Procedural order preference did not affect the use of procedures nor did procedures affect task performance. Competing hypotheses on the...

This study applied functional theory and media-capacity theory to compare face-to-face (FTF) groups with computer-mediated communication (CMC) groups in terms of their group communication and group performance. This study used a field experiment that was integrated into two classes of a communication course at a private university in northern Taiwa...
