Some Things Are Better Left Unseen: Toward More Effective Communication And Team Performance In Video-Mediated Interactions
By default, most video-mediated communication systems show the user his or her own video feed, yet there is no prior research to show if this helps or hinders communication. In general, virtual teams desire richer media to improve team interaction. However, in this case more information may not be helpful. Drawing on Objective Self Awareness theory in social psychology and theories of cognitive overload from communication, hypotheses are proposed concerning how viewing oneself influences virtual team interaction. It is argued that viewing oneself will lead to lower team performance and other negative outcomes. The hypotheses are tested in a laboratory experiment, manipulating whether participants were able to view their own feeds during video-mediated communication. The results suggest that viewing oneself leads to a reduction in team performance and individual satisfaction. The findings, in terms of several theoretical explanations, and implications for managers and systems designers are discussed in the paper
Resolvent and spectral measure on non-trapping asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds I: Resolvent construction at high energy
This is the first in a series of papers in which we investigate the resolvent
and spectral measure on non-trapping asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with
applications to the restriction theorem, spectral multiplier results and
Strichartz estimates. In this first paper, we use semiclassical Lagrangian
distributions and semiclassical intersecting Lagrangian distributions, along
with Mazzeo-Melrose 0-calculus, to construct the high energy resolvent on
general non- trapping asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds, generalizing the
work due to Melrose, Sa Barreto and Vasy. We note that there is an independent
work by Y. Wang which also constructs the high-energy resolvent.Comment: 49 page
