In the present paper, the relationship between situation awareness (SA) and confidence was examined within a distributed information-sharing environment using both extant SA methodologies to study the relationship between SA and confidence and psychophysical methodologies (e.g., calibration and resolution) that examine the relationship between decision-making and confidence. The results of this study suggest that the use of calibration and resolution techniques offer a fruitful avenue for expanding our understanding of the relationship between SA and confidence and ultimately the relationship between SA and performance.
