Abstract
First paragraph:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of experimentally controlled working conditions upon task performance and attitudes of small work groups. In one condition, initial group experience in the form of success or failure is manipulated in order to study its effects upon subsequent group task performance and attitude. In another condition, the effects of disruption on group performance and attitude is investigated using stooges as the disrupters.
