Abstract

Bu deneysel
çalışmanın amacı, hızın (hız ve kontrol) ve karşılaştırmanın (karşılaştırma ve
kontrol) bireysel beyin fırtınasında düşünce üretme performansına etkisini
incelemektir. Hız koşulundaki katılımcılara, düşüncelerini olabildiğince hızlı
yazmaları konusunda bir yönerge verilirken; kontrol koşulundaki katılımcılara
herhangi bir yönerge verilmemiştir. Karşılaştırma koşulundaki katılımcılara ise,
performanslarının kendilerine benzer biriyle karşılaştırılacağı bilgisi
verilirken; kontrol koşulundaki katılımcılara herhangi bir geribildirim
verilmemiştir. Tüm katılımcılar, üniversitede öğrenci yaşamını geliştirme
yolları hakkında 12 dakika boyunca beyin fırtınası yapmışlardır. Araştırma
bulgularına göre hız ve karşılaştırma koşullarındaki katılımcılar, kontrol
koşullarındaki katılımcılara göre daha fazla düşünce üretmişlerdir. Ayrıca hız
ve karşılaştırma koşullarının bu etkisine, esneklik aracılık etmektedir. Elde
edilen bulgular,  hem hız hem
karşılaştırmanın düşünce üretiminde yararlı olduğunu göstermesine rağmen bu
değişkenlerin düşünce üretme performansına etkileri altında yatan mekanizmalar aynıdır.

INDIVIDUAL BRAINSTORMING PERFORMANCE AS A FUNCTION OF VELOCITY AND COMPARISON FEEDBACK

Abstract

This experimental research aimed to investigate the
effect of velocity (control vs. velocity) and comparison (control vs.
comparison) on the idea generation performance of individual brainstormers. The
participants in the velocity condition were led to write down their ideas as
quick as possible, whereas those in the control received no such instruction.
Those in the comparison condition were informed that their performance would be
compared with someone similar to them, whereas those in the control one
received no such feedback. After that, all they brainstormed on the ways to
improve the student life in the university for 12 minutes session. Findings
showed that those in the velocity condition and comparison one generated more
ideas than their counterparts. These effects were mediated by only flexibility.
These findings suggest that even though both provision of comparison and
velocity were beneficial to idea generation, underlying mechanisms for the
effects of these variables on the idea generation performance were the same.
