When a person tries to evaluate if a participation in a group is worthwhile, he takes in to consideration several factors. He will first see if the group is serving his purposes. Can the group promote his needs. Can it serve his social needs (Masslow3,4)? Can it help him on his professional achievements (Masslow 1,2,3,4)?
He will then ask how much the group is already promoting the needs. He will try to get ahigh rate of ROI by investing minimum resources to get maximum benefits. He will look for the most effective group to promote his needs.
If a group seems to be have high ROI, he will try to join. More beneficial groups may have a selective barrier, block people who do not promote the goals of the group. If he have to invest, he will invest, as long as it is cost-effective.
If the group serves his needs perfectly, he will go along the lines of the group with minimal resources.
If he observes that the group do not follow perfectly his needs, and he want to improve the group behavior then he might think of getting into the group's decision makeing process. Group Decision making is very complex process and may take a lot of resources.
Decision influence
I suggest that people uses the following function To decide whether to enter into decision making process. The ability to influence in an equal decision making system, time must be divided by group participants. As more people enter into the decision making group, the relative time shared by other members is reduced by (n^2)/2 (See the problem of coordination). So the larger the group, the time to influence diminshes quadratically.
To over come the diminshing influance, alfa types, who wants to have more influance, they will use use a vriety of methods to achive more time on the expence of other participants. This phenomena is discourging weaker memebers from participation.
To solve this problem, many weaker decision makers will try to get more friendly with main decision makers, to influance the decision of the main decision makers (look for the prince edvisors in Michavlli, Advisers (And "friends". This creates the very femiler phenomena of ass leakers).
