Abstract
The purpose of this study was to expand on previous theories of small group communication by applying them to groups that exist outside of a given task. These groups were involved in high-stress situations as well to delineate between when they were working on a task and when they had downtime between tasks. This was accomplishing via survey of groups participating in ROTC training who self-reported types of messages sent and received, team structure, and stress caused by time pressure and individual perceptions.
