“From these results, we can speculate that it is possible that individual reflection assignments may be just as effective in reaching these positive team process outcomes, a conclusion which conflicts somewhat with the finding of Dayaram and Fung (2012).” (p.24) “Through such shared reflection, not only are individual team members asked to make a more conscientious commitment to the project, but also as a part of the actual assignment, they are expected to mentally commit to and physically sign the behavioral contract.” (p.25) “Results of a multivariate analysis of covariance, controlling for gender and individual prior achievement indicated that teams who engaged in team-level reflection on desired team behavioral norms did not report higher teamwork satisfaction than those who had engaged in individual-level reflection on desired norms, but did report higher team effectiveness, effectiveness of their team member evaluation tool, and higher project scores.” (p.5)
