Summary:
This thesis was prepared as a descriptive study of a series of meetings of a selected professional association to determine the potential utility and transferability of sociometric diagnostic techniques to voluntary organizations. Methods employed in investigating this concept and its corollaries include: use of a modified Bales interaction Analysis Process chart and diagnostic review of full sound recordings of proceedings. The principle subject investigated was the phenomenon of decision reversal in the board of trustees. An analysis of the results of this investigation indicates that further study of the problem could yield a diagnostic tool of broad potential for use in the small decision making group.
