This passage:
Most published and experienced work in group dynamics is very biased because of the YAVIS phenomena (Young Attractive Verbal Intelligent Successful). Working with "inscrutible" persons has been very difficlut because non-YAVIS methods are still being developed. The Big Brother popular television series, with several high-definition audiovisual recordings of a group is still evolving as a research tool that shows the failings of all prior research tools.
Was removed by an anonymous editor as nonsense. While unsourced, it is certainly not nonsense. Fred Bauder 19:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- The way it is written would be almost impossible to defend: "Most published and experienced work in group dynamics is very biased..." YAVIS is certainly a term used in psychotherapy. I haven't come across any studies of its applicability to group dynamics. I didn't remove the statement, but I didn't disagree with its removal. It would need a fair amount of work. Perhaps someone could begin by supplying some citations. Sunray 20:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
