学龄中期儿童在团队创造力任务中的表现

Performance of Middle School-Aged Children in Team Creativity Tasks

摘要: 团队创造力是团体成员在社会互动情境下共同创造的产物。以往研究均以成人为被试，结果也仅适用于成年人。本研究以学龄中期儿童为研究对象，探究其在不同的发散性思维任务中团队创造力的表现特点及相关影响因素。实验一采用非常规用途任务对学龄中期儿童的团队创造力水平进行为期6个月的追踪研究。结果表明，该群体的团队创造力变化保持在稳定水平，团队创造力表现与个体创造力以及合作行为均无显著相关。实验二采用现实情境任务。结果表明，在现实情境中，学龄中期儿童的团队创造力水平随时间有显著增长的趋势；团队创造力也会受到个体创造力水平与团队合作水平的影响；且团队创造力水平高的学龄中期儿童未来会出现更多的合作行为。研究为深入理解儿童团队创造力的特点及其影响因素提供了理论证据。

Abstract: Team creativity is the product created jointly by group members in the context of social interac-tion. Previous studies used adults as subjects, and the results were only applicable to adults. In this study, children of middle school age were selected as the research objects to explore the performance characteristics and related influencing factors of team creativity in different divergent thinking tasks. In experiment 1, the team creativity level of middle school-age children was tracked for 6 months using an unconventional use task. The results showed that the change of team creativity remained stable, and there was no significant correlation between team creativity performance and individual creativity and cooperative behavior. In experiment 2, a realistic situational task was used. The results showed that the level of team creativity of middle school-age children increased significantly over time. Team creativity is also affected by individual creativity level and team cooperation level. Moreover, middle school-age children with high level of team creativity will have more cooperative behaviors in the future. This study provides theoretical evidence for understanding the characteristics and influencing factors of children’s team creativity.
