title = "Effects of mood and stress on distributed team cognition",
abstract = "Team cognition under stress has come under increasing scrutiny, most often in the wake of unfortunate and catastrophic accidents. The role of mood in team cognition, however, has attracted markedly less attention. An exploration of laboratory research on the effects of mood and stress on cognition at the individual level reveals convergent and overlapping findings suggesting that mood plays a more significant role in team cognition than is currently acknowledged. This article proposes a theoretical approach for distinguishing between the impacts of moods and stressors upon team cognition. It is demonstrated that team experiments conducted using this approach can reveal compelling patterns in this complex research space and identify both mediators and moderators in the process. This framework provides further insights into team cognition under stress that point towards design recommendations for systems and procedures used in technologically complex work environments.",

note = "Funding Information: Michael D. McNeese is the Professor in-charge at the College of Information Sciences and Technology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA. Under Air Force sponsorship, he received the first interdisciplinary PhD granted from Vanderbilt University in the area of Cognitive Science. He worked on multiple projects involving cognitive science, team cognition, affective computing, C3I modelling and simulation and engineering-intelligent systems for the last 32 years. His most recent work involves the development of NeoCITIES, a scaled world simulation that emulates team-to-team performance in an emergency operations center engaged with developing terrorist activities. His research was funded by the National Science Foundation, Army Research Laboratory, Office of Naval Research, Air Force, Lockheed-Martin and the National Geospatial-intelligence Agency. Currently, he directs the User Science and Engineering Laboratory at Penn State. Funding Information: Mark S. Pfaff is an assistant professor in the School of Informatics at Indiana University, Indianapolis. He received his PhD in 2008 from the College of Information Sciences and Technology at the Pennsylvania State University under funding from the Office of Naval Research. At Penn State he managed the User Science and Engineering Lab for Dr Michael McNeese and was a research assistant for both the Multidisciplinary Initiatives in Naturalistic Decision Systems (MINDS) Group and the Center for Network-Centric Cognition and Information Fusion (NC2IF). He designed the user interface for the NeoCITIES simulation and remains involved in ongoing development of this software. His research explores the psychological factors underlying complex decision making in computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) environments through the use of experimental simulations and mixed-methodological approaches.",
