Lines: 19 We've had some discussion about how groups are supposed to work--but not all groups are the same. Any one have comments about differences in interaction depending on the construction of the group? Much of the discussion I've seen looks at what might be called "peer groups", where all the members are on equal footing and are expected or, at least, allowed to participate equally. What about situations with a "boss" or those where there is someone like a seminar leader? What about situations where some people are allowed to observe but not talk?
