Racial Diversity, Age Diversity, Interdependence, and Team Performance
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between age diversity, racial diversity, and team performance in two settings with very different requirements for member interaction. Basketball and baseball were chosen as examples of activities requiring high interdependence and low interdependence, respectively. Archival data were gathered from 871 professional basketball teams and 1,082 professional baseball teams from 1950 to 1997. The results revealed that (after controlling for team ability) age diversity and racial diversity were negatively associated with basketball team performance. Diversity on both variables was unrelated to baseball team performance. These results are interpreted in terms of the interaction patterns required in the different sports.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
