Read about his work here at Explorations. Many are excited for the coming space missions, especially those involving Mars. Some look forward to the chance of discovering other living organisms in our galaxy, while others desire to see the day humans step foot on Mars. Whatever the drive, the fact remains that, as we seek to travel farther into space, missions will continue to increase in distance, size, complexity, and cost. From designing the spacecraft to the moment astronauts return home, the ability of all personnel to cooperate and properly perform tasks in a team-centered environment will be critical to the success of any space mission. In an effort to obtain evidence to create a behaviorally-informed systems design model, our exploratory study focused on two common design delegation approaches, Requirements Allocation (RA) and Value-Driven Design (VDD), to analyze whether or not the framing of instructions influenced an individual’s effort while completing a task.
