q2 · i? · associational · r1

Kendall's tau correlation across 9 teams in the field-based observational study, relating during-simulation MdRQA %REC to leaders' adapted Ottawa GRS CRM scores. The article reports "τb = 0.535, p = .046", a moderate positive correlation; the authors frame the finding as preliminary.

"We found a statistically significant, moderate, positive correlation between During Sim real data %REC and CRM score (τb = 0.535, p = .046)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Physiological synchrony during collaborative interaction shows initial positive correlations with collaboration quality, task performance, and learning gains — a broader claim this one bears on
• Regression models of PS on CRM performance could not be conducted because four regression assumptions were not met — related
• Higher physiological synchrony relates to less monitoring with positive valence — related
• Increased physiological arousal and higher physiological synchrony relate to more monitoring with negative valence — related
• Neither physiological arousal nor physiological synchrony predicts equality of participation in monitoring interactions — related
• Physiological synchrony is detectable among medical resident teams both before and during CRM simulation training, exceeding surrogate-data chance levels — related
