Small Group Interaction

In small, same-sex, undergraduate discussion groups ( N = 23), self-disclosure was associated significantly with perceived group cohesiveness, but not participation. Only males' self-disclosure (Jourard's questionnaire) was associated with perceived cooperation, and only females' self-disclosure was associated significantly with perceived norms and influence. Contrary to expectation, participation was associated significantly only with males' perceived group cohesiveness including perceived cooperation, ideas, norms, liking, and influence.
