--- abstract: 'Meetings can be an effective tool for communication, unification and complex problem solving, but often deteriorate and become improductive. In this note I apply scaling arguments to communication in meetings and suggest that as meetings get larger, it becomes more and more important to deal with the non-verbal messages. The potential for the meeting content to become less intellectual and more emotional in large groups is stressed.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Tarnow given: Eugen honourific: Dr. lineage: '' date: 1997 date_type: published datestamp: 2005-07-09 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/44/44 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 4444 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/4444/1/Body_Language_is_Important_in_Large_Groups.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: unpub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'body language, large groups, group psychology' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:56:07 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: TRUE publication: N/A publisher: ~ refereed: FALSE referencetext: | ASCH, S.E.
