Sex Composition, Cohesion, Consensus, Potency and Performance of Simulation Teams

Resumen

The findings of this study suggest simulation teams of different sex compositions show no differences in group cohesion, consensus or potency. Performance differences did appear. All male teams produced higher simulation scores, but lower grades on plans and reports related to the simulation. All male teams also had lower GPAs and lower course grades. This study points to an important research opportunity by using a simulation to explore differences in performance between males and females, in teams and as individuals.
