The Effect of Metacognition in Cooperation on Team Behaviors

摘要

Teams and teamwork are indispensable, especially when tackling difficult and complex tasks that cannot be easily addressed by a single individual. Because breakdowns in team cooperation can cause accidents, much research attention has been devoted to studies on team cooperation, and many measurements and training of teamwork have been proposed. Traditional studies have often focused on observational. teamwork behaviors to measure and enhance teamwork. In order to better measure and enhance teamwork, it is believed that it is necessary to focus on the cognitive mechanisms that underlie teamwork. This study focuses on metacognition in cooperation that underlies team cooperation, and aims to investigate the importance of metacognition in cooperation. The comparisons of metacognition in, cooperation and team performance indexes suggest that an improvement of metacognition in cooperation will enhance team performance and that certain types of metacognition in cooperation are important for positive teamwork.
