Tacit coordination in anticipation of small group task completion
Article Abstract:
A study on tacit coordination processes reveals that group members implicitly coordinate and adjust their activities by anticipating others' behavior to meet the demands of a collective task. Group members absorbed political candidate statements in anticipation of a group decision or collective recall task. While anticipating collective recall, the members recollected topics outside other members' predicted expertise, but when group choice was expected members recalled more information related to the expected expertise of others.

The role of prior expectancy and group discussion in the attribution of attitudes
Article Abstract:
A study of the factors influencing individual bias on the attitudes of a person during group discussion reveals a weakening of bias with irrelevant information about the subject prior to the group discussion. There is no change in bias with prior congruent expectancy, while incongruent expectancy leads to a reversal of bias.
