Cognitive divergence and shared mental models in software development project teams
研究软件开发团队中共享心智模型随时间的变化,发现角色分化导致互动减少,进而削弱了共享心智模型,对团队认知研究有启示。
Abstract This study examined the development of shared mental models in software development teams over time. Contrary to predictions, team members' mental models about the group's work and each other's expertise did not become more similar over time. Structural equation modelling revealed that as role differentiation increased in these teams, it led to a decrease in interaction and a corresponding decline in shared mental models. Implications for research on shared cognition and team development are explored. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
