Zusammenfassung

Ob im Management von Unternehmen, in Cockpit- und Schiffsbesatzungen oder bei der Überwachung sicherheitsrelevanter Systeme – die Lebensweisheit „Vier Augen sehen mehr als zwei“ ist als Gestaltungsprinzip in verschiedensten Lebensbereichen zu finden. Empirische Studien kamen jedoch zu widersprüchlichen Ergebnissen bezüglich der Wirksamkeit des Vier-Augen-Prinzips in der Praxis. Den – vor allem aus kognitionspsychologischer Sicht – großen potenziellen Synergieeffekten stehen sozialpsychologische Reibungsverluste wie eine nachlassende Motivation oder die Tendenz, sich auf die Aufmerksamkeit und Leistung anderer zu verlassen, als strukturelle Gefahren des Vier-Augen-Prinzips gegenüber. Aufgrund des komplexen Einflusses verschiedenster kontextueller Bedingungen kann die Gültigkeit der Lebensweisheit „Vier Augen sehen mehr als zwei“ deswegen nicht auf konkrete Anwendungsbereiche reduziert werden.
