Journal Article

In order to increase the body of empirical data on health care teams, a three year study of faculty and student teams who participated in the Team-TRAC Program at the University of Nevada, Reno,was undertaken. Three research methods were employed: participant observation, survey and self-report, and interaction analysis. Findings based on the first two methods are reported elsewhere (Thornton, [1976]; Thornton et al., [1979]; Baldwin et al., [1979]). This paper will focus primarily on the two interaction analysis coding systems employed in the study and will provide an empirical description of team members' interpersonal relationships and patterns of information exchange.
