After a long period of scarce resources and a long delay in new scientific results suffered as a consequence of recent Spanish history, research concerning groups has experienced a rapid development over the last 15 years of the 20th century—the result of the late but then clear institutionalization of psychology into university structure. Although most research has been carried out at the very heart of social psychology and along the traditional lines of the field, a significant growth in the study of groups and work teams in organizational contexts can now be highlighted, coinciding with the tendency detected internationally during the last years. Beyond the normalization of group research in Spain, it is necessary to point out its excessive dependency in both theory and methodology on models and tools elaborated throughout North America and Europe. The present review closes with the proposal of creating a European formative curriculum for group psychologists in order to unify and promote research within this active and important field of psychology.

Methods for Diagnosing Interaction Strategies

Methods for the analysis of group processes at the behavioral and content level of social interaction are demonstrated using group interactions in conflict situations. A conceptual framework for behavioral strategies in conflict interactions is presented. Index variables for these strategies are defined on the basis of sequential interaction patterns. An experimental study is conducted on how interaction strategies in conflict situations vary with aspects of group composition. Four groups with two male and two female members each were formed varying the dimensions “gender” and “attitudes toward the male and female gender role” (traditional versus progressive). The groups were given a discussion task in which the differences in attitudes create a conflict situation. An analysis of interaction strategies indicated a more pronounced polarization in subgroups in the first condition. A detailed single case study illustrates the diagnostic power of the analytic methods in revealing different strategies of conflict management.
