Abstract

Herein, we describe the data used to conduct the research reported in this book. The chapter begins with a description of the sample and the design of the laboratory study that was conducted, including a description of the laboratory task and operationalization of the context in which the teams collaborated. The rest of the chapter is devoted to describing how we collected, cleaned, and coded our data. The dataset was comprised of both team performance measures and the coded communication strings. The chapter ends with a brief summary of where portions of this dataset were previously examined. In the chapter appendix, an example dataset is described that will be used in the appendices of subsequent chapters to demonstrate the methodological approaches used.
