The Similarity of Campus Student Organizations Assessed Through a Hierarchical Grouping Procedure

摘要

The investigation is part of a research program focused generally on the taxonomic investigation of physical and social environmental factors that account for variance in behavior. The present study involves an exploratory effort to group campus student organizations, varying in structural characteristics, into homogeneous clusters. To the extent that group structures influence the behavior of their members, such analysis is a significant step toward improved understanding of the sources of variance in human behavior.
