The answer is simple They make decisions - or at any rate they try to But How do they do it? That's just what a Harvard University sociologist Dr Robert F Bales hopes to find out Today much of the world's work is the product of just such small borhood councils legislative committees labor and management councils even the world-wid- e agencies of the United Nations Bales feels that a better understanding of how your mind works once you become a g committeeman (or member of a council of any sort ) could offer the iinto the i world a new insight strategic so much run of our living that groups In his search for such an understanding the Harvard sociologist has devised a kind of psychological shorthand "interaction group analysis" he calls it Actually it is a method of recording every reaction by every person in any group To demonstrate he assigned the committee shown in the photographs to work out a chess problem while he recorded their discussion Bales begins with the assumption that every "interaction"- - that is relation of one person to another (and to the group) can be fitted into 12 categories These categories he maintains are common to all groups-t- o your local PTA as well as to the Security Council of the United Nations Members of both organizations have similar problems in preventing misunderstandings obtaining facts keeping major aims in mind finding ways and means for getting work done and arriving at some sort of general agreement face-to-fa- ce — policy-makin- - -- e'N 4 4 groups-neigh- BETTER NOVI 4 ''' 2 ' ' "' ' By EDWARD POLISHES DESIGNED THE SHOE WITH I CAII HEAR 1 -: 1 "' '' '' !'
