Team – “…a distinguishable set of two or more people who interact dynamically, interdependently, and adaptively toward a common goal/objective/mission, who have each been assigned specific roles or functions to perform, and who have a limited life-span of membership” (Salas et al., 1992) Military Psychology Team Defined

2 or more members Members possess multiple sources of info Tasks are interdependent (sequential, pooled, or reciprocal) Members must coordinate efforts Members share compatible values/goals/objectives Members have specialized roles Team is hierarchically structured (team leader) Communication crucial Team develops strategies to adapt to change Military Psychology Team Characteristics
