This article contains a description of the structure, the software and functional capabilities, and the scope and purposes of application of the Group Profile (GP) computer technique. This technique rests on a conceptual basis (the microgroup theory), includes 16 new and modified questionnaires, and a unique algorithm, tied to the questionnaires, for identification of informal groups. The GP yields a wide range of data about the group as a whole (47 indices), each informal group (43 indices), and each group member (16 indices). The GP technique can be used to study different types of groups: production (work groups, design teams, military units, etc.), academic (school classes, student groups), and sports.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
