Description
This thesis was prepared as a descriptive study of a series of
meetings of a selected professional association to determine the
potential utility and transferability of sociometric diagnostic
techniques to voluntary organizations. Methods employed in investigating
this concept and its corollaries include: use of a
modified Bales interaction Analysis Process chart and diagnostic
review of full sound recordings of proceedings. The principle
subject investigated was the phenomenon of decision reversal in the
board of trustees. An analysis of the results of this investigation
indicates that further study of the problem could yield a diagnostic
tool of broad potential for use in the small decision making group.
