Abstract
Intra-team peer assessments have become the norm for performance and attribute assessment in problem
and project based learning activities. However, research on the effects of interpersonal variables on these
assessment practices is limited. This study examined the relationship between interpersonal variables and
student perceptions on the validity of peer assessment. In order to understand the relationship between social
interaction and its effects on peer assessment, four interpersonal variables were identified in this study: psychological
safety, value diversity, interdependence, and trust. Fifty five undergraduate engineering students
working in teams of 5 to 6 participated in a survey after having completed their first formative peer assessment.
Preliminary findings from this study and evidence from other studies support the view that interpersonal
variables have the potential to affect peer assessment and influence the learning outcomes
