Team Interactive Decision Exercise for Teams Incorporating Distributed Expertise(TIDE2): A Program and Paradigm for Team Research. (Version 1.0)

摘要

This report describes a networked software program called TIDE2 and shows howthis program can be used in scientific studies in the area of team decision making. The relationships between this program and the existing groups literature, as well as the theoretical framework driving the current research program are described. Although the initial scenario includes hierachically arranged teams operating under stressful conditions, the programs flexibility allows for different scenarios and non-team applications, and the procedures for manipulating these are laid out. TIDE2 also has sub-programs for collecting, sorting and analyzing data, and these are described, along with the systems requirements needed to run the program.
