“…Better performing memory systems can emerge through communication strategies that allocate domains of knowledge to individuals in the network. Increased group coordination leads to better problem solving than in comparable groups of strangers (Hollingshead, 1998;Littlepage, Robison, & Reddington, 1997). This communication can take place through explicit negotiation (e.g., "you remember the first 3 digits, I will remember the last 4"), but often occurs implicitly.…”

This article extends psychological methods and concepts into a domain that is as profoundly consequential as it is poorly understood: intelligence analysis. We report findings from a geopolitical forecasting tournament that assessed the accuracy of more than 150,000 forecasts of 743 participants on 199 events occurring over 2 years. Participants were above average in intelligence and political knowledge relative to the general population. Individual differences in performance emerged, and forecasting skills were surprisingly consistent over time. Key predictors were (a) dispositional variables of cognitive ability, political knowledge, and openmindedness; (b) situational variables of training in probabilistic reasoning and participation in collaborative teams that shared information and discussed rationales (Mellers, Ungar, et al., 2014); and (c) behavioral variables of deliberation time and frequency of belief updating. We developed a profile of the best forecasters; they were better at inductive reasoning, pattern detection, cognitive flexibility, and open-mindedness. They had greater understanding of geopolitics, training in probabilistic reasoning, and opportunities to succeed in cognitively enriched team environments. Last but not least, they viewed forecasting as a skill that required deliberate practice, sustained effort, and constant monitoring of current affairs. A t APA, we understand how challenging it can be for you to stay abreast of the latest and best academic research on psychology.

“…For example, group members more accurately discern each other's competence, personalities, and attitudes as they work together over time (Harrison, Price, Gavin, & Florey, 2002;Kenny, 1991;Littlepage, Robison, & Reddington, 1997;Paulhus & Bruce, 1992;Peltokorpi, 2008). In these contexts, it is possible that overconfident individuals will be discovered as being overconfident.…”

“…More widely, CSCW has identified a range of situations where it is important that strangers form a relationship with each other quickly, irrespective of their similarity, such as in ad-hoc teams. Team performance has been identified to improve if members are more familiar with each other before a team is formed (Littlepage et al, 1997). For example, Wong and Neustaedter (2017) have identified the importance of such familiarity amongst flight attendants.…”

Augmenting Multi-Party Face-to-Face Interactions Amongst Strangers with User Generated Content

Abstract. We present the results of an investigation into the role of curated representations of self, which we term Digital Selfs, in augmented multi-party face-to-face interactions. Advancements in wearable technologies (such as Head-Mounted Displays) have renewed interest in augmenting face-toface interaction with digital content. However, existing work focuses on algorithmic matching between users, based on data-mining shared interests from individuals' social media accounts, which can cause information that might be inappropriate or irrelevant to be disclosed to others. An alternative approach is to allow users to manually curate the digital augmentation they wish to present to others, allowing users to present those aspects of self that are most important to them and avoid undesired disclosure. Through interviews, video analysis, questionnaires and device logging, of 23 participants in 6 multi-party gatherings where individuals were allowed to freely mix, we identified how users created Digital Selfs from media largely outside existing social media accounts, and how Digital Selfs presented through HMDs were employed in multi-party interactions, playing key roles in facilitating strangers to interact with each other. We present guidance for the design of future multi-party digital augmentations in collaborative scenarios.
