Predicting Simulation Performance: Differences Between Groups and Individuals

Resumen

This study explored different antecedents and their relationship to simulation performance when the game was played in teams versus played by individuals. The method was for two sections of undergraduates to play a simulation in teams and two others in the same course in the same university play much of the game as individuals. The results showed that university GPA and academic major predicted performance for individual players but not for teams while carefully choosing teammates varied with performance for teams but not for individuals.
