    Area of Science:

    • Social Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Intellectual Disabilities Research

    Background:

    • Investigating cognitive processes in individuals with intellectual disabilities is crucial for developing effective support strategies.
    • Group dynamics and decision-making processes can influence individual outcomes, but their impact on residents of group homes requires specific study.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the impact of group discussion and decision-making on the subsequent individual decisions of residents in group homes.
    • To determine if participation in group decision-making enhances the quality of individual responses compared to non-discussed topics.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving residents of group homes divided into groups of four.
    • Subjects engaged in group discussions and decision-making for half of the interview questions (experimental group).
    • The other half of the questions served as a control, with no group discussion.

    Main Results:

    • A significantly greater improvement in the quality of answers was observed for the experimental questions compared to the control questions.
    • Leadership status showed a moderate correlation with individual participation rates.
    • Leadership status also correlated with initial task competence but not with verbal intelligence.

    Conclusions:

    • Group discussion and decision-making positively influence the quality of subsequent individual decisions among group home residents.
    • Leadership roles within the groups are associated with participation and competence, suggesting potential avenues for targeted interventions.
