Motivational processes of school friendship and acquaintance groups

Western Sydney University

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Conference Paper

Abstract

This study investigated school-based group work with groups comprising close friends and groups comprising acquaintances. In particular, we focused on how key self-processes, namely self-efficacy and self-construal, were related to group behaviour and group performance. Both quantitative and qualitative data revealed some notable differences in how students approach working in groups in these two contexts.
