“…Some researchers have found that music plays a positive role in promoting individual creativity ( Ritter and Ferguson, 2017 ; Zhou et al, 2020 ). Ritter and Ferguson (2017) explored four types of music (happy, sad, calm, and anxious) as well as the effects of different affective valence (positive, negative) and arousal (high, low) on individual creativity.…”

“…Therefore, a “happy” music environment does not have a significant impact on the performance of tasks related to convergent thinking ( Ritter and Ferguson, 2017 ). Another study explored the effect of music with different rhythms on creative performance ( Zhou et al, 2020 ). Participants completed a series of “30-lap tests” designed to measure creativity in a quiet environment or an environment with music (fast or slow).…”

“…Participants completed a series of “30-lap tests” designed to measure creativity in a quiet environment or an environment with music (fast or slow). The fast-paced music environment significantly improved the creative performance of novice designers in terms of fluency and flexibility (related to divergent thinking; Zhou et al, 2020 ). It was shown in another study that people’s design creativity increases significantly in arousing environments ( García-García et al, 2019 ).…”

IntroductionCreativity plays an important role in design. However, there have been mixed results about whether music, as an environmental stimulus, improves design creativity performance.MethodsParticipants were 57 design major students who were randomly assigned to one of three groups, with 19 students in each group: no music, pure music, and music with intelligible semantic information (unrelated to the task) playing in the background. Each participant completed a design task (design a tool for storing painting materials), with two phases in it, one that involved idea generation (divergent thinking) and one that involved idea evaluation (convergent thinking). Performance in the two phases was rated based on six indices of creativity (fluency; flexibility; adaptability; feasibility; usefulness; novelty) and overall design creativity (ODC).ResultsThe results of one-way ANOVAs with Bonferroni correction showed that neither music environment had a significant influence on divergent thinking in idea generation nor convergent thinking in idea evaluation. However, both music environments had a significantly positive effect on novelty and ODC.DiscussionWe discuss the implications of our current results for fostering designers’ creativity performance.
