Främjas kreativitet av ljudet i caféer? - det irrelevanta bakgrundsljudets effekt på kreativitet hos studenter
(2014) PSYK11 20141Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- The main focus of the study was to investigate the relationship between irrelevant background sound and creativity. A creativity test which intends to measure creativity in a gestalt-oriented and broad way, “TCT-DP”, was used. The participants, 83 students, were tested under two different conditions, one with and one without bakground sound. The results from using a t-test for
independent samples showed no significant difference between the groups. This was possibly due to the nature of the creativity test. Furthermore a Mann Whitney U-test was used to investigate a possible difference between distraction for the groups. However, results showed no significant difference here either. - Abstract (Swedish)
- Huvudsyftet med studien var att undersöka om kreativitet påverkas av en vanlig miljöaspekt, irrelevant bakgrundsljud. Kreativitetstestet, “TCT-DP”, användes för att betrakta kreativitet från ett brett och gestaltorienterat perspektiv. Deltagarna var 83 studenter som testades under två olika förhållanden, med och utan bakgrundsljud. Resultatet från ett t-test för oberoende grupper visade att experimentgruppen inte fick signifikant bättre resultat än kontrollgruppen. Vidare undersöktes om skillnader fanns i distraktion hos grupperna. Dock hittades inga signifikanta skillnader här heller.
