Although much research has concentrated on the forecast of efficient team performance and the variables that might detract or promote team efficiency, little research reviewed has assessed the multitude of individual characteristics their impact on collaborative problem solving (CPS). Much of the research investigates only a single individual characteristic and its effect on group performance. This research proposes to explore three individual attributes (interpersonal dependency, individual working memory capacity, and preferred learning style) on performance effectiveness in CPS. A wide range of fields including healthcare and the military has explored CPS; however, the bulk of teamwork research to date has dealt with behavioral coordination on a single feature. This study will explore the association between team-member attributes and CPS skills. Noteworthy interactions might be observed to demonstrate that there are mixtures of traits more (or less) productive than anticipated, indicating further evidence of how group composition influences group performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
