Evaluating the Effect of Team Feedback

Evaluating the effect of displaying team vs. individual metrics on team performance

Description: The purpose of this study is to provide insights into how the assessment variable of feedback affects team training.

Role: I led all research activities involved in this project that served as my dissertation. Specifically, I:

Chose the research questions.
Planned the user study.
Implemented the user study.
Developed the entire environment in Unity using C#.
- Participants were able to join the same session, locate and interact with one another, and communicate with one another using push-to-talk audio.
Collected, cleaned, and analyzed the data.
Lead-authored a poster presented at Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Conference (October 2020)

Date: This project was completed in 2019

Type: Research

Output: The output of this project was three detailed analyses of how the assessment variable of feedback influenced team performance and a demonstration of how the Team Multiple Errands Test can be used to evaluate teams.
