| Title: | Structural Differentiation In Emergent Groups |
| Authors: | Forrest, Thomas R. |
| Keywords: | Structural Differentiation

| Description: | This study is an extension of earlier work done by this researcher
which concentrated on the behavioral dimension of group emergence
(Forrest, 1968). In that study an effort was made to focus on interactional
patterns which were not yet institutionalized or regulated by
a set of established structural relationships. To assist in this
analysis, the emergent norm theory of collective behavior was employed
to distinguish developmental phases of group formation. While the
problem of structural differentiation was recognized at that time, an
adequate understanding of this process was not acquired. Thus, this
present study builds upon our earlier work. |
