A psychologically oriented conceptual framework is presented for distributed tactical decision-making (DTDM) that is applicable to decision environments such as a future US Naval Battle Group/Force operating with a flexible and reconfigurable command and control system in a multithreat environment. The conceptual framework distinguishes between individual, group, process-control, and task-level input factors; characteristics of the group's interaction process; and various outcome variables. The critical assumption underlying the framework is that the interaction process mediates the influence of input factors on performance outcomes. Four intervening variables are proposed as important mediators of group process and performance in distributed environments. They were tested in an initial experiment, which supported the underlying assumption in general, and the incentives for cooperation mediating variable in particular. It also demonstrated the importance of a multitrait-multimethod measurement approach.
