Abstract
The paper represents an explorative step in studying the effect of problem-solving styles on verbal engagement in teams solving a conceptual design task. The selection of VIEW problem-solving style assessment framework provided assumptions on how different style dimensions could affect verbal engagement. The assumptions were tested by setting up a protocol study where teams composed of members with different problem-solving styles solved a conceptual design task. The results of the protocol analysis have revealed the potential effects and provided directions for further research steps.
