Subclaims¶

q2 i? Kruskal–Wallis tests showed significant differences between perception groups for each of the five temporal motif groups, with Dyads and Star Triads of moderate magnitude and Chaotic, Switch and Ordered Triads of small magnitude. → Zamecnik 2024 q2 i? Dyadic motifs characterise teams with divergent perceptions (Multifaceted) with lower performance and task cohesion, while triadic motifs characterise teams with similar perceptions (Aligned) with higher performance and task cohesion. → Zamecnik 2024 (2)

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Motif analysis of team interaction log data from 194 teams using the SNAP library; five Kruskal–Wallis tests with group assignment as the independent variable (Dyads χ2 = 17.447, p = 0.000; Star Triad χ2 = 17.057, p = 0.000), followed by Dunn post hoc tests.

"The results in Table 7 show significant differences between perception groups for each motif group. The reported size effects are shown where Dyads and Star Triads have moderate magnitudes, while Chaotic, Switch and Ordered Triads have small magnitudes."

Authors' interpretation in the discussion of their motif and perception findings, aligning with Zamecnik et al. (2023): teams with higher triadic interactions also display higher performance scores. This is presented as corroborating that prior work.

"the dyadic motifs are a characterisation for teams that maintain differences in perceptions (i.e. Multifaceted) and have lower performance and task cohesion scores. In contrast, teams with similar cohesive perceptions (i.e. Aligned), characterised by triadic motifs, have higher performance and task cohesion scores."

• Feedback engagement is the main activity distinguishing perception groups, with divergent-perception teams interacting less with feedback content — related
• Teams with similar cohesive perceptions report higher task cohesion scores than teams with different perceptions — related
• Temporal network motifs show promise as a proxy indicator of task cohesion in WIL environments when combined with survey data — a broader claim this one bears on
• Week 3 performance differs by perception-transition group, with Aligned teams increasing and Multifaceted teams decreasing in scores — related
