This paper describes a new laboratory model developed for studying complex CSCW phenomena. In our prior work a more ecological laboratory approach was developed to study activity awareness issues derived directly from earlier fieldwork. In the first study participants worked on a simulated long-term project with a confederate who introduced collaborative breakdown scenarios. Although the study produced many realistic behaviors, findings indicated that there was room for improving the model by making the simulation more ecological and engaging for participants. This paper examines the results of a follow-up study conducted with the goal of improving the laboratory model. The follow-up study varied two important elements of simulation from the first study. A real long-term project was used, and the confederate was replaced with another participant. Differences in results from the two studies indicate how the changes made to the model impacted its effectiveness. |
