Descriptive assessment of the logged dataset of 106 teams. The study reports "The best performing team made only two errors, while the worst performing team made 37", with an average of 12 errors; time ranged from 15 to 68 minutes. These are descriptive statistics with no test reported.

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Team psychological safety and team member exchange are not significantly correlated with TEAMUP in-game performance indicators
• In-game time and distance are not very useful indicators of team quality because they are largely driven by team structure
• In-game avoidable mistakes in TEAMUP are significantly and markedly explained by team cohesiveness, not by team structure variables — related
• Team structure factors (gender, age, game experience) markedly influence TEAMUP speed and distance but not avoidable mistakes — related
• Independent data-analysis teams given the same data and question produced widely varying answers, illustrating analytic flexibility — related
