Encouragement of Turn-Taking by Real-Time Feedback Impacts Creative Idea Generation in Dyads

Building creativity in a remote group is challenging, and various methods to improve it have been investigated. However, the effect of real-time feedback system on computer-mediated outcome remains undetermined. In this study, we studied performance 20 two-person groups (dyads) while they engaged alternative uses task via video-mediated communication received cues based turn-taking. The study included three conditions: turn-taking encouragement (TTF), random time (RF), no (NF). To probe underlying mechanism, assessed outcomes, participants’ mood, temporal characteristics type (i.e., slow gradual or instantaneous). results revealed that TTF can enhance dimensions fluency, originality, index convergence. Comparing self-reported moods indicated heightened negative valence with high emotional arousal. While did not show any changes idea generation quality differences between conditions, showed cue impact was instantaneous. also significant instantaneous immediate generation. Our findings suggest condition enhanced cognitive persistence rather than flexibility during session. be useful only human-to-human communications, but designing social robots agents.
