Several studies have been made about of communication patterns; Alex Bavelas is one of the first researchers in this field. He developed a study based on a game and an analytical method, finding interesting results related to the communication process. Given the importance of the topic, this paper seeks to analyze the communication process, basing it on Bavelas’ work but using tools such as experiment designs, aimed to extend the results to the engineering field.
