Communication in small groups

Written as a college-level text, this book pairs the study of theory and research with practical instruction in group skills. Its authors work as researchers, teachers, and communication consultants, and they bring that hands-on experience to a straightforward introduction to how small groups communicate.

The main aim is to present small group communication theory and research so readers can use these ideas when they take part in a team. Each concept is tied to the everyday workings of group interaction, helping students connect what they learn to the groups they join.
