"Advances in Group Processes publishes theoretical analyses, reviews, and theory based empirical chapters on group phenomena. The series adopts a broad conception of "group processes." This includes work on groups ranging from the very small to the very large, and on classic and contemporary topics such as status, power, trust, justice, social influence, identity, decision-making, intergroup relations and social networks. Previous contributors have included scholars from diverse fields including sociology, psychology, political science, economics, business, philosophy, computer science, mathematics and organizational behavior. Volume 33 brings together papers related to a variety of topics in small groups and organizational research. The volume includes papers that address theoretical and empirical issues related to balance theory, generalized exchange, identity contests and corporate social responsibility. Other contributions examine minority influence, status and identity processes, gender stereotypes and voice pitch as a measure of stress. Overall, the volume includes papers that reflect a wide range of theoretical approaches from leading scholars who work in the general area of group processes."

Reviews
Social science and business scholars present theoretical analyses, reviews, and theory-based empirical findings on group phenomena in groups ranging from the very small to the very large. Among the topics are the enemy of my friend is easy to remember: balance as a compression heuristic, identity contests and the negotiation of organizational change, status and identity pivot points in social interaction, and deviation in voice pitch as a measure of physiological stress response to group processes. -- Annotation * (protoview.com) *
