EFFECT OF GROUP-PERFORMANCE ON SUBSEQUENT INDIVIDUAL-PERFORMANCE - DOES INFLUENCE GENERALIZE BEYOND THE ISSUES DISCUSSED BY THE GROUP

Does group discussion and deliberation on one issue or task influence the members' decisions or opinions on other issues? rn contrast to pas t research looking solely at changes in responses to the same item dis cussed by the group, this study examined whether group interaction res ults in members changing the way they make judgments on related items in the future. The results show that group discussion and consensus on one set of judgments led to a significant convergence of judgmental s trategies that extended to a related (but different) set of judgments the members made later as individuals.
