Clapper, Danial L., McLean, Ephraim R. and Watson, Richard T. (1998): Mediating Group Influence With a Group Support System: An Experimental Investigation. In Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce, 8 (2) pp. 109-126.

“This is an investigation of the use of group support systems (GSS) to mediate group influence. GSS researchers have explored the impact of a GSS's ability to facilitate creativity in idea-generating tasks such as brainstorming; this study can be viewed as an extension of this research stream from idea generation to the choice phase of group decision making. In an experimental setting, 48 participants were each combined with groups of 3 confederates. In each group the confederates attempted to influence the participant to move from his or her initial position to the majority position. The communication configuration used by each group was either no GSS, a GSS in a face-to-face setting, or a GSS in a distributed setting. In addition, each group used 1 of 2 different tasks to determine the impact of task type on group influence. The results indicate that the GSS significantly lessened the ability of the group majority to influence an individual member for both of the task types which the groups performed.”

Clapper, Danial L. (1995): EBT: A Tool for Electronic Brainstorming Researchers. In Journal of Organizational Computing, 5 (1) pp. 21-24.

“EBT is a stand-alone electronic brainstorming tool designed specifically for researchers. It can be used for face-to-face as well as dispersed groups, and will work in a typical college computer lab LAN environment. Its features include anonymous and nonanonymous idea-generation modes, the ability to run multiple simultaneous sessions, and the option of generating a session logfile which indicates the originator and time of each idea generated during a session. EBT is available to researchers on the Internet via anonymous ftp.”

Mosier, Donna J., Dubrovsky, Vitaly J. and Clapper, Danial L. (1995): Effects of Network Pattern and Status Congruence on Computer-Mediated Group Decision Making. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 834-838.

“Classic experimental studies on restrictive communication networks concluded that network patterns and status congruency affect efficiency, satisfaction, and leadership of group decision making. This experiment had a two-fold purpose: (1) to determine if computer-mediated communication would effect the results of these studies; and (2) to assess centrality of network position as a context cue of social status. The results suggested that network pattern retained its influence in computer-mediated groups, while influence of status congruence was weakened by the equalization effects of the computer media. The results also indicated that a center position in the computer network did serve a social-context cue of status: a high-status person exerted status influence only occupying the hub position. Thus, assignment of group members to network positions of equal or different centrality can be used as means of controlling influence of status and authority in computer-mediated groups.”
