The Center for Group Dynam-
ics aims its investigations toward
gaining insights into the numer-
ous groupings of human beings
which are included within this
complex society. They study such
specifics as what groups are, how
they interact, why and when they
form and how change comes
about.
Various Divisions
Under the Center for Group
Dynamics are divisions dealing
with Children, Youth and Family
Life and with Mental Health in
Industry. The latter studies the
relative mental and emotional
situations of subordinates and
superiors and how interaction af-
fect each, along with ways to in-
crease productivity and efficiency.
The Survey Research Center is
also divided into divisions deal-
ing with particular problems and
questions. Organizational Behavior
deals with the individual within
the organization.
Organizational Change studies
and at times recommends -the
ways in which an organization
can be changed by altering the
relations between undergngs and
bosses.
Studies Attitudes
Communication and Influence

groups and the individuals com-
co-posing them revamp their atti-
tudes and behavior. One study of
Juvenile delinquency viewed how
the group has influence over in-

CHILD DYNAMICS STUDY-Often University researchers do extensive work in field projects, cov-
ering a wide variety of topics. Currently the ISR is sponsoring a study of the dynamics of children.

urban children during the, summer months.

survey in the country to accurately
predict the Truman victory. They
also have studied the correlation
of votes of congressmen and the
feelings of their constituency
Economic Behavior is concern-
ed with the consumer, rather than
Gross National Product or sales.
Their quarterly reports do not
predict or give facts to any par-
ticular group, but these reviews
of economic conditions, are used
by American businesses and pro-
ducers.
Investigates Students
The Student Development pro-
ject is a seven-year study of stu-
dents at the University and is de-
signed to discover what and how
attitudes are changed by a col-
lege experience.
The ISR is administered separ-
ately from the teaching depart-
ments of the University, but is
closely allied with them through
mutual research interests and
through sharing of some teaching
and other professional activities.
