TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of the two models, with special attention to the ways in which authority and peer relations are viewed, is made, and the need for theoretical and technical amalgamation to advance our understanding of group phenomena is stressed.
Abstract: Two different theories and techniques of group training, the T Group and the study group, have been described as facilitating learning about behavior in the small-group setting. These approaches arise out of different traditions and tend to view the same behaviors from disparate perspectives. This paper focuses on a comparison of the two models, with special attention to the ways in which authority and peer relations are viewed. The need for theoretical and technical amalgamation to advance our understanding of group phenomena is stressed.
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of individual differences in mediating both the T group behavior of the participants and the labs' overall effectiveness was investigated in human relations training programs of two graduate business schools.
