*In order for groups to hold attributes, they must be group constructs not individual constructs.*
This reminds me of [[the hive switch]], activities that can move us from acting like chimpanzees to acting like bees (The Extended Mind).
It's kind of like [[social-cognitive learning theory]], and the idea that learning takes place socially not just cognitively, and exists in the space between people, rather than in people.
This is a statement about treating group entities, including [[ad hoc team]] as specifically different than just the sum of the people.

[[psychological safety]] -- team learning behavior -- team performance
(underlying construct)<- (mediating activity) -> outcome
[[We have stronger experiences when those experiences are shared]]
### What would the opposite argument be?
