These characteristic levels of personality have been theorized to be brought about by member similarity resulting from attraction-selection-attrition processes described by Schneider (1987).[11] Beyond personality, a number of other factors have been posited to explain why work group members tend to share moods and emotions,[2][12][13] for example: (a) common socialization experiences and common social influences;[14] (b) similarity of tasks and high task interdependence;[15][16] (c) membership stability; (d) mood regulation norms and rules;[17] and (e) emotional contagion.[18] George suggests that if all or most individuals in a work group tend to feel positive at work (the group has a "high positive affective tone"), then their cognitive flexibility will be amplified as a result of social influence and other group processes.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1798.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1798.txt
