Group Writing versus Individual Writing--Is There a Difference in Achievement?
Winter, Janet K.; And Others
Journal of Education for Business, v71 n2 p78-81 Nov-Dec 1995
Business undergraduates wrote unfavorable and persuasive letters either individually (121 controls) or in groups of 4 (92 experimentals). Analysis of variance tests revealed the group writing projects to be of higher quality, significantly for unfavorable letters. Both controls and experimentals wrote better persuasive letters than unfavorable letters. (SK)
