Focus of Attention in Groups: A Self-Attention Perspective.

Mullen, Brian; And Others

Journal of Social Psychology, v129 n6 p807-17 Dec 1989

Reports on three research studies that tested the hypothesis that the focus of attention of individuals in groups varies as a function of the group composition. The populations studied were members of the Nixon White House staff, high school students, and male undergraduate students. Results supported the idea of self-focused attention as a mediator of group composition effects. (GG)
