Document Summary

People who assume or are assigned responsibility for seeing that the group fulfills its goals. Vary in the extent to which they have and recognize leaders. Secondary groups are more likely to have leaders than primary groups. The status characteristics people bring to a group tend to affect their participation and influence in the group, and to affect the structure and interaction of the group in general. Members of a group holding the highest status within the group tend to be people who hold higher statuses outside the group as well. Strodtbeck simon and hawkins (1965) studies the effects of diversity on group participation and influence by having people participate in mock juries.
