Abstract
While many researchers have explored the benefits of diversity on innovation and output quality, there is a lack of research that has been done on impact of diversity in teams on outcomes on the personal level. This paper investigates the relationship between social identity and the ease of collaborative work processes. I use an experiment to test hypotheses on the preference of partners and best performing pairing. With the use of a website designed my Jeffery Flory, Brent Hickman, John A. List, Amamnda Pallais, and Jessie Sun, 30 participants were randomly paired in teams of two to virtually collaborate is a series of data entry sessions as well as participating in solo sessions. I use data collected from post-solo work and post-paired work survey responses in addition to group elapsed speed to run regression analysis. I find that white men generally have greater respect for white women and other white men. Similarly, nonwhite men have a greater respect for white men, other nonwhite men, and white women than nonwhite women while nonwhite women seem to rank all partners the same across respect and friendliness. White women rank nonwhite men lower across respect and friendliness.
