Self-control
System of Small Groups: Effects of Feedforward and Feedback
M. Ohta |
(a)
This study was purposed to inquire into the self-control system of
small groups, especially the system by which the group goal and performance
are regulated by feed forward and feedback information. (b) The experimental
task was for groups of primary school boys to add the numbers 1 to
5 to random numbers. 2 situations were staged in 2 experiments. In
experiment I, while members were given a goal as well as feedback
information in one situation, the goal was decided by members after
advised of feedback information in the other. In experiment II, members
set their goal without a supply of feedback information in one situation
and with this information in the other. (c) Operators W1 to W4 in
the block diagram of the system were estimated by input and output
data. 1Vlultiple regression analyses were used.
