To solve complex problems, such as the sustainable use of ground water, diverse people must cooperate to share resources in uncertain environments. This project proposes and tests a model of the interdependence between stress, cognition, changes in the abundance of resources, and group decision-making. The model contributes to the science of group decision-making by investigating how stress (biology) and resources (the environment) impact how groups make decisions. The model seeks to explain why some groups of diverse people coalesce and effectively manage shared resources in uncertain environments, while others fail. The results of the project inform decision-makers faced with complex challenges related to climate variability, public health, and defense by building tools for diverse teams to cultivate systems thinking, manage shared resources, and improve cooperation over time. The project also broadens participation in online education and systems thinking skills.This project develops and tests an embedded Model of Adaptive Capacity (eACM). The eACM proposes that the capacity of groups to continually solve complex problems depends on the ability of individuals to cognize key challenges in a resource system and to converge on joint solutions to those challenges. The eACM couples resource dynamics with individual variation in mind-body systems through the process of group sensemaking. Sensemaking occurs when groups create an understanding of their environment and form joint plans of action for cooperation. The project tests the eACM through behavioral experiments and manipulation of stress. Formal models of the systems dynamics of group decision-making aid in generalizing the results of the experiments. The project pushes the boundaries of theory by converging the study of cognition with the study of stress arousal in strategic decision-making, generating a more integrated explanation for the biological and cognitive foundations of adaptive teams. The results of the project enhance online education and systems thinking skills for diverse students and teams.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

为了解决复杂的问题，例如可持续使用地下水，不同的人必须合作在不确定的环境中共享资源。该项目提出并测试了压力，认知，资源丰度变化和群体决策之间相互依赖性的模型。该模型通过研究压力（生物学）和资源（环境）如何影响群体做出决策的方式来促进团体决策的科学。该模型试图解释为什么一些不同的人集结在一起，并有效地管理不确定环境中的共享资源，而其他人则失败。该项目的结果为决策者提供了与气候变异性，公共卫生和防御有关的复杂挑战，该挑战是通过为各种团队建立工具来培养系统思考，管理共享资源并随着时间的推移改善合作的工具。该项目还扩大了参与在线教育和系统思维技能。该项目开发和测试了自适应能力（EACM）的嵌入式模型。 EACM提出，群体不断解决复杂问题的能力取决于个人在资源系统中认识主要挑战并将联合解决方案汇聚在这些挑战中的能力。 EACM通过小组感官的过程将资源动态与思维系统中的个体变化相结合。当小组建立对环境的理解并制定合作行动计划时，就会发生感官。该项目通过行为实验和应力操纵来测试EACM。组决策的系统动力学的形式模型在推广实验结果方面。该项目通过在战略决策中融合认知的研究来融合认知的研究，从而突破理论的界限，从而为自适应团队的生物学和认知基础产生了更整合的解释。该项目的结果增强了各种学生和团队的在线教育和系统思维技能。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
