PREFACE This annotated bibliography is part of a bibliographic study of research related to factors contributing to the effectiveness of AC&W sites in Alaska. The complete report will consist of a series of annotated bibliographies, as outlined below, and a series of summary reviews, following generally the same outline.
The review of literature was undertaken in a broad frame of reference, covering a wide range of variations in organizational type (e.g., from informal laboratory togetherness situations to formally organized, permanent organizations), size of group, type of mission, location, and type of personnel. This formulation not only makes possible the widest degree of generalization, but also permits the study of AC &W site problems in the perspective of principles, rather than of the limited empirical data available from polar research. The literature covered represents many disciplines, but primarily social psychology, sociology, and management. In addition, material has been drawn from other specialties of psychology, physiology, anthropology, geography, and medicine.
The annotated bibliographies in this series include the following titles, issued as separate publications: I. The Basic Psychology of Group Behavior, II. Dimensions of Group Structure and Group Behavior, III. Environmental Stress and Behavior Ecology, W. Organizational Staffing, v. Organizational Management and Leadership, VI. Leadership in Formal Groups.
