Abstract: Racial group diversity and level of expectation for group performance were experimentally manipulated to test their effects on productivity. Undergraduate students (N = 126) from a large urban university system took part in the study. Participants were assigned to one of three experimental expectation conditions within either a diverse or non-diverse group: positive group outcomes, negative group outcomes, and no group outcomes. Expectation level was manipulated via contrived journal articles. Analysis of Variance supported the hypothesis that high expectancy groups would demonstrate the highest level of productivity. Results also supported the hypothesis that group composition would have no effect on group productivity. Diverse and non-diverse groups did not differ in their desire to work with their group again in the future.
