The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of GSS use on the exchange and use of information in group decision making under two conditions: when there was and was not a majority/minority split of opinion in the group. When there was a distinct majority/minority, groups using a GSS exchanged more information, made better decisions, and took no more time than when they did not use a GSS In the uniform treatment where there was no majority/minority, groups using a GSS exchanged more information, but made worse decisions, and took more time than when they did not use a GSS.
