Abstract
intergroup dynamics that occur within larger organizational units / question of interest is how changes in the relative sizes of subgroups affect the relationships between the subgroups / social contact theories predict that relationships should improve as a minority subgroup increases in size, but competition theories predict the opposite / predictions from these 2 perspectives are tested by analyzing the changing proportions of women faculty members in sociology departments from the late 1970s through the late 1980s.
