Effects of the information environment on group discussions and decisions in the hidden-profile paradigm. |
1-28 |
| |
| | Research on the Information Sampling Model (ISM) revealed that information items that are known to all group members at the outset (shared information) are more likely to be mentioned during discussion than information items that are only known to individual members (unshared information) (Stasser & Titus, 1985; Wittenbaum, Hollingshead, & Botero, 2004) | |

Issue forum introduction: Theorizing communication problems. |
103-105 |
| |
| | What is a communication problem? Although the field of communication theory suggests many interesting answers to this question (Craig, 1999), everyday practical discourse still too often relies on a simplistic transmission model that separates process from content, framing communication problems as technical breakdowns in the flow of information caused by blocked channels, unclear messages, poor listening, or lack of feedback | |
