Research Interests
Gary Stasser joined the department in 1977. Much of his research has been devoted to understanding the conditions under which groups will discuss relevant information when making decisions. His empirical work on information management in decision-making group has been supported by major grants from the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research. In the 1990s, Gary has also served as the chair of the Department of Psychology at Miami. His research focuses on small group processes, including team problem solving and decision making. Recent research examines patterns of information exchange and use during group discussion. Other areas of interests include team coordination, impression management in teams, and computer modeling of social interaction.
