Emotional dynamics and group culture [Elektronisk resurs] : experimental studies of individual and group behavior / Dorothy Stock and Herbert A. Thelen.

• "In 1947 the Human Dynamics Laboratory was established within the Education Department at The University of Chicago. It was charged to study group operation and, eventually, to contribute to the theoretical and practical understanding of the effects and control of social-emotional-psychological factors in classroom learning situations. Chapter 1 provides a broad orientation within which the examination of the research will be more meaningful. The research tensions and motivations, there communicated explicitly, have given direction to the research from the beginning even though we could not then have "put them into words." Chapter 2 gives a simple starting statement of Bion's fundamental notions. This is the beginning of the development of theory of group operation. The first chapter of each section adds further details, elaborations, and modifications of the theory, as needed to cope with the researches in that section. Chapter 23 tries to assess just where our experiments leave the theory: what principles have stood up under test, which ones remain too poorly defined for confident use, and which ones require further work for clarification of meaning. Chapter 24 is oriented to practice and, without departing from the theory, attempts to translate into practical terms the major implications of the entire work for those who are concerned with groups as social instruments"--Preface.
