ABSTRACT
The grouping of individuals in industry offers a unique field for the study of social psychology, and yet this aspect of industrial psychology has been largely neglected. A possible reason for neglect may be the fear that such a study might be politically suspect and so engender an attitude which would be detrimental to its pursuit. This may be true of the employers' and employees' organizations, which exist mainly to protect what are regarded as opposed interests, but it is not true of industrial groups within the factory to the same extent. A start has already been made in the study of these, and the following brief description illustrates the methods used.
