Title Developing an instrument for measuring shared understanding Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication ISCRAM 2010 – 7th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management: Defining Crisis Management 3.0, Proceedings Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2010
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Hardware; Command and control; Empirical studies; Microworld; Rank order; Shared understanding; Swedish armed forces; Team performance; Teams; Information systems
Abstract The paper discusses the need for an easy-to-use, easy-to-administer measure that can capture shared understanding in a team of professionals working together towards a successful performance. In the paper the development of such a measure is described using two empirical studies. Command-and-Control tasks are complex and often dynamic, and a way of capturing the degree of which a team of individuals have a common understanding of priorities in such a task is imperative. Two studies are presented. In the first study students participated in a microworld experiment where they tried to rank order pre-determined factors in order to measure shared understanding. In the second study officers from the Swedish Armed Forces participated in an exercise where they rank ordered self-generated factors.

Title Revealing unexpected effects of rescue robots' team-membership in a virtual environment Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication ISCRAM 2013 Conference Proceedings – 10th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2013
Volume Issue Pages 627-631
Keywords Human robot interaction; Information systems; Situation awareness; Team identification; Team performance; Teamwork; Usar; Virtual reality
Abstract In urban search and rescue (USAR) situations resources are limited and workload is high. Robots that act as team players instead of tools could help in these situations. A Virtual Reality (VR) experiment was set up to test if team performance of a human-robot team increases when the robot act as such a team player. Three robot settings were tested ranging from the robot as a tool to the robot as a team player. Unexpectedly, team performance seemed to be the best for the tool condition. Two side-effects of increasing robot's teammembership could explain this result: Mental workload increased for the humans who had to work with the team-playing robot, whereas the tendency to share information was reduced between these humans. Future research should, thus, focus on team-memberships that improve communication and reduce cognitive workload.

Title Using shared priorities to measure shared situation awareness Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication ISCRAM 2010 – 7th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management: Defining Crisis Management 3.0, Proceedings Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2010
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Hardware; Command and control; Crisis management; Shared priorities; Situation awareness; Subjective rating; Team; Team performance; Information systems
Abstract Shared situation awareness is hard to measure, especially in operative environments such as crisis management. In this paper the purpose is to develop a novel method to measure to what extent the team has shared situation awareness that can be used in operations. 20 two person teams participated in a study where a dynamic and evolving tactical decision-making task was solved. Shared situation awareness, shared priorities, and team performance were assessed. The results show that the shared priorities measure in this study did not relate to shared situation awareness. Several methodological concerns was identified which could have affected the results. The measure did relate to subjective ratings of cooperation which is very interesting and it is suggested that the measure captured aspects of teamwork. The shared priorities measure was easy to employ, required little preparation, and is a promising addition to team research.

Title The Influence of Swift Trust on Virtual Team's Sensemaking in Crisis: A Research Model Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Virtual teams, crisis, sensemaking theory, swift trust, team performance.
Abstract Virtual teams are an important form of collaboration, especially in the context of transboundary crises. Achieving

team effectiveness through good sensemaking is key to virtual teams? success in responding to crisis. However,

there is still a lack of understanding about the relationship of this sensemaking in a virtual team during crisis to

the virtual team?s development of swift trust. Adapting from a model of sensemaking, in this paper, we propose a

research model to describe the relationships among swift trust, sensemaking and virtual team performance in the

context of virtual teams during crisis.
