The Effect on Game Performance of Different Measures and Units of Analysis in Quantitative Analysis

Abstract

This paper compares the results from several analyses of variables influencing game performance in a total enterprise simulation. All games were played in teams and analyses were made both on an individual and a team basis. Antecedents included in the analyses are students efforts, time spent on decision making, grades, age and gender. The regression analyses on team basis gave a substantially higher R square than the analysis on individual basis. Also different measures for the dependent variable (performance) influenced results to a great extent.
