This research discussed the use of high involvement style and high
considerateness style in formal and informal small groups? discussions. Besides,
the writer tried to find the influence of social factors in the different use of styles
in the discussions. In informal meetings, the use of high involvement was higher
than the high considerateness styles, while in formal meetings the use of high
considerateness styles was higher than high involvement styles. The writer also
found that each element of social factors such as participant, setting, topic, and
function has a significant contribution to the use of different styles. The higher
social power of the leader than the member may affect the use of high
involvement style, and the equal social power among members of the group also
may affect the use of high involvement style, but the lower social power of the
member than the leader may affect the use of high considerateness style. The
formality of the topic is very significant factor in the choice of style. Also, the
