Abstract
The removal of group members and the recruiting of new ones are central processes in the maintenance of a group, yet they receive little study. Bases for determining who will be expelled and who initiated are stated in the form of propositions. A number of hypotheses are then offered concerning conditions that may cause events to run counter to these propositions.

A psychological model for the explanation of individual formal voluntary organization (FVO) participation is proposed and tested on two purposive samples of members and matched eligible nonmembers of several FVO's in Chile and indicates that general and specific FVO-relevant attitudes are the more important discriminators of FVO members from non-members.
