Three studies examine how the future prospects of new group members affect newcomer acceptance and newcomer influence. In Study 1, participants anticipate accepting temporarty newcoemrs less easily then permanent newcomers because they expect temporary newcomers to differ from the group. In Study 2, the effects of newcomer entry in three-person groups are examined. Results show that groups perceived temporary newxomers as more involved in a judgmental decision-making process than permanent newcomers. In Study 3, a hidden profile task confims that temporary nexomers indeed shared more unique knowledge during discussions than permanen newcomres and that this enbanced the groups' decision quality. However, compared to permanent newcomers, temporary newcomers caused terms to experience more conflict and less group identification, illustrating the tension between innovative group performance and group cohesion. The results are discussed in light of the social identity perspective and research on minority influence.
