Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 6
Abstract
This study was conducted with the aim to gain insight on the process of collaborative writing among students with different personality profiles. The participants’ personalities were categorised using Leonard Personality Inventory (LPI). Five Diploma in Mass Communication students formed a case study group and their collaboration process when performing a writing task was observed. Data was obtained by using video recordings, interviews, diary entries and observations. The findings highlighted contextual factors which influenced the participants’ collaboration. They were participants’ personalities, use of humour, leader’s facilitation skills, participants’ attention level and the influence of culture. These factors both promoted and inhibited group dynamics and task performance. It is recommended that collaborators be provided with information regarding their personalities and of others prior to collaboration. Furthermore, possessing knowledge of contextual factors which may affect group performance is advantageous. As a result, the outcome from collaborative writing may be enhanced.
