The review's teamwork-outcome synthesis covers two studies using the Workgroup Emotional Intelligence Profile; when control groups were included, TBL produced significantly higher gains in awareness of one's own emotions, recognizing emotions in others, and managing others' emotions. No effect sizes are printed.

"Both studies found that team emotional intelligence was higher post-clerkship compared to pre-clerkship [60, 63]."

The review reports Levine et al.'s use of the Classroom Engagement Survey and the 17-point Value of Teams instrument against historical cohorts; Warrier et al. found no significant pre-post difference in value of working with peers but a significant difference in value of group work.

"Their results showed that those who participated in TBL sessions showed significant improvement in the “value of working with peers” and “value of group work” compared to historical cohorts from previous years."
