This article expands the view of groups as information processors into a motivated information processing in groups (MIP-G) model by emphasizing, first, the mixed-motive structure of many group tasks and, second, the idea that individuals engage in more or less deliberate information search and processing. The MIP-G model postulates that social motivation drives the kind of information group members attend to, encode, and retrieve and that epistemic motivation drives the degree to which new information is sought and attended to, encoded, and retrieved. Social motivation and epistemic motivation are expected to influence, alone and in combination, generating problem solutions, disseminating information, and negotiating joint decisions. The MIP-G model integrates the influence of many individual and situational differences and combines insight on human thinking with group-level interaction process and decision making.
本文通过强调以下两点，将群体作为信息处理器的观点扩展为群体动机性信息处理（MIP-G）模型：其一，许多群体任务的混合动机结构；其二，个体或多或少会进行深思熟虑的信息搜索和处理这一观点。MIP-G模型假定，社会动机驱动群体成员关注、编码和检索的信息类型，而认知动机驱动寻求、关注、编码和检索新信息的程度。社会动机和认知动机预计会单独或共同影响问题解决方案的产生、信息的传播以及联合决策的协商。MIP-G模型整合了许多个体和情境差异的影响，并将对人类思维的见解与群体层面的互动过程及决策相结合。
