OBJECTIVE:The combat identification (CID) abilities of same-gender and mixed-gender dyads were experimentally assessed, along with measures of spatial skills and team communication. BACKGROUND:CID is a high-stakes decision-making task involving discrimination between friendly and enemy forces. Literature on CID is primarily focused on the individual, but the extensive use of teams in the military means that more team-based research is needed in this area. METHOD:After a set of training sessions, 39 dyads were tasked with identifying 10 armored vehicles in a series of pictures and videos. Team communication was recorded, transcribed, and coded for instances of disagreements. RESULTS:Analyses indicated that males scored higher on a spatial visualization measure than did females. M-M teams performed significantly better than M-F teams on the CID task, but when spatial ability and team disagreements were added as predictors, the effect of team gender composition became nonsignificant. Spatial ability and team disagreement were significant predictors of team CID performance. CONCLUSION:Results suggest that spatial skills and team disagreement behaviors are more important for team CID performance than a team's gender composition. To our knowledge, this is the first lab study of team CID. APPLICATION:This research highlights the importance of understanding both individual differences (e.g., spatial skills) and team processes (e.g., communication) within CID training environments in the military context.

目的:通过实验评估同性别和混合性别二元组的战斗识别(CID)能力,以及空间技能和团队沟通的能力。
背景:CID是一项高风险的决策任务,涉及友军与敌军之间的歧视。关于CID的文献主要集中于个人,但是军事中团队的广泛使用意味着在这一领域需要更多基于团队的研究。
方法:经过一系列训练后,负责39个二元组的任务是在一系列图片和视频中识别出10辆装甲车。对团队沟通进行记录,抄录和编码,以解决分歧。
结果:分析表明,男性在空间可视化指标上的得分高于女性。 M-M团队在CID任务上的表现明显优于M-F团队,但是当添加空间能力和团队分歧作为预测指标时,团队性别组成的影响变得不明显。空间能力和团队意见分歧是团队CID绩效的重要预测指标。
结论:结果表明,空间技能和团队异议行为对团队CID绩效的影响比团队的性别组成更为重要。据我们所知,这是团队CID的首次实验室研究。
应用:这项研究突显了在军事环境下,在CID培训环境中理解个人差异(例如空间技能)和团队流程(例如沟通)的重要性。
