USE OF THE EXPERIMENTAL METHOD FOR EVALUATIONS OF PERFORMANCE IN MULTI-MAN SYSTEMS

Abstract

The report discusses the use of the experimental method as a technique for arriving at solutions to human factors engineering problems encountered in the design of multi-man systems. Of specific concern are the methodological decisions that must be made in the design of the research. Factors that are likely to influence these decisions are considered as well as the implications of these decisions with respect to the validity and generality of the data thus obtained. These various decision points are illustrated through use of data on group performance during long-term confinement.
