- The purpose of this investigation will focus on table shape and seating arrangements under two time conditions; low pressure and high pressure. The question I will ask is does the configuration of a room influence (a) efficiency of a group when problem solving and (b) satisfaction of a group when problem solving. 36 participants from Algoma University College were divided into six small groups and had to work on the same group problem solving task. The purpose was to see if room configuration and time had an impact on group decision making. There were no significant differences between the groups.
