Reported here is experimental work on group‐decision behavior, exploring the idea that a group's decision behavior with respect to a specific task can be explained or predicted from a knowledge of the decision processes of its individual participants. From these initial experiments, the authors are presently extending their research to a further question: In what manner and by what procedures does the process of arriving at a group decision affect or influence the decision procedures of the individuals concerned?
