报道了一项实验，研究了性别构成对头脑风暴小组创造力的影响。据推测，混合性别的群体将更有创造力，无论是单一的男性或单一的女性群体。15组，每组4名成员，2名男性和2名女性; 4名女性; 4名男性，参加了实验。实验者记录了每个人产生的想法的数量，以及与这些想法的不同联系，以及处理任务的不同角度的数量。完成练习后，受试者完成了实验后问卷调查。结果表明，异质群体比同质群体产生更多的创造性成果。此外，他们对自己的过程评价更积极。这些研究结果进行了讨论，在有关的类型的任务，并在有关的一般概念，异质群体可能会产生更多的创造性成果，但遭受更多的过程中的问题，作为比较…
An experiment is reported in which the effect of sex composition on the creativity of brainstorming groups is investigated. It was hypothesized that mixed sex groups would be more creative than either homogeneous male or homogeneous female groups. Fifteen groups, consisting of four members each two males and two females; four females; four males, took part in the experiment. The experimenter noted the number of ideas generated per person, as well as the different associations with these ideas, and the number of different angles from which the task was approached. After finishing the exercise, subjects completed a post-experimental questionnaire. Results show that heterogeneous groups produced more creative outcomes than homogeneous groups. Also, they rated their process more positively. These findings are discussed in relation to the type of task used, and in relation to the general notion that heterogeneous groups are likely to produce more creative outcomes yet suffer from more process problems as compa...
