Abstract

This descriptive and exploratory paper has as its objective the analysis of group interaction during a crisis and the generation of hypotheses about crisis interaction. Hypotheses are suggested in the areas of verbal and nonverbal interaction, leadership style and fluctuation, and the volume of task and process communication. These hypotheses and the questions raised by the study suggest directions for future crisis research.
