The psychology of science typically lacks integration between cognitive and social variables. We present a new framework of team innovation in multidisciplinary science and engineering groups that ties factors from both literatures together. We focus on the effects of a particularly challenging social factor, knowledge diversity, which has a history of mixed effects on creativity, most likely b...

As hypothesized, we found support for Jackofsky's (1984) curvilinear hypothesis as turnover was higher for low and high performers than it was for average performers. Three potential moderators of this curvilinearity were exami...

Emergent phenomena – those that manifest bottom-up from the psychological characteristics, processes, and interactions among individuals – have been largely neglected. Emergence is theoretically assumed, exa...

Faultline theory proposes that when the distribution of individuals’ attributes in groups are aligned they create homogeneous subgroups, characterized by within-group similarities and between-group differences. As homogeneity increases, these differences are increasingly likely to acquire meaning to subgroup members and thus to influence behavior. While the face validity of faultlines is appeal...
