Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="bjop12075-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Using a cross‐lagged design, the present study tests an integrative model of emergent collective emotions in learning groups. Our results indicate that the percentage of women in the group fosters the emergence of collective emotional intelligence, which in turn stimulates social integration within groups (increases group cohesion and reduces relationship conflict) and the associated affective similarity, with beneficial effects for group effectiveness.</p> </abstract>
