| Abstract: | Procedural influence in consensus formation across multiple subgroups was examined. When a cross-sectional decision must be established by a joint conference of all members, 2 consensus procedures are conceivable. The 2-stage procedure encourages each subgroup to coordinate its members' opinions prior to the joint conference; discussion follows two steps, first at the subgroup level and then at the entire group level. In contrast, the single stage procedure calls for the joint conference immediately to minimize the opportunities for opinion exchange at subgroups. |
