“…Over 70% of respondents to the survey stated that they felt 'nervous and stressed' either 'fairly often' or 'very often' over the last month. When referring to recent studies such as that conducted by Hsiao et al (2017), which found that long term stress is incompatible with creativity, the findings from this section of the questionaire alone point towards a situation where students may be at risk having their creativity stifled.…”

“…With environmental stressors, it is possible to experience long term effects rather than purely immediatereactive. For example, the negative outcome from a long term demand for creativity, as set out by Hsiao et al (2017), could have been in place for the participant's entire university career. It is possible that over a twoweek period alone there may not have been large fluctuations in levels of the participants' creativity at this particular stage.…”

Current literature suggests that stress influences creativity, however further research is required concerning this relationship with a focus on education. Current views are clearlydivided on whether any negative effects on creativity are more dictated by environmental stressors or the reactions of individuals whilst under stress. For this study, participantscompleted a questionnaire comprising of a perceived stress scale and thematic questions, to give an indication of whether they were more influenced by environmental stressors ortheir individual reactions to stress. Two Torrance tests of creativity were conducted to assess creativity over a two-week period as time pressures increased. The resultssuggested that participants who identified as being more affected by their own negative reactions to stress displayed a lower calibre of creativity when time-pressure increased,whereas the participants who were suggested to be more influenced by their environment remained at a relatively constant perceived level of creativity.

Consumer Decision-Making Creativity and Its Relation to Exploitation–Exploration Activities: Eye-Tracking Approach

2021

Modern consumers face a dramatic rise in web-based technological advancements and have trouble making rational and proper decisions when they shop online. When they try to make decisions about products and services, they also feel pressured against time when sorting among all of the unnecessary items in the flood of information available on the web. In this sense, they need to use consumer decision-making creativity (CDMC) to make rational decisions. However, unexplored research questions on this subject remain. First, in what ways do task difficulty and time constraints affect visual attention on exploitative and exploratory activities differently? Second, how does the location of the reference (i.e., hints) influence the level of visual attention to exploitative and exploratory activities depending on affordance theory? Third, how do exploratory and exploitative activities affect CDMC? Eye-tracking experiments were conducted with 70 participants to obtain relevant metrics such as total fixation duration (TFD), fixation count (FC), and visit count (VC) to answer these research questions. Our findings suggest that task difficulty influences exploitative activity, whereas time constraint is related to the exploratory activity. The result of the location of hints aligns with the affordance theory for the exploitative activity. Besides, exploratory activity positively affected CDMC, but exploitative activity did not show any effect.

“…Item 14 of the subscale failed to comply with the lower value criterion in the inter-item-correlation range. However we judged that the variable should be retained, due to its association with both the creativity and collaboration constructs (Hsiao, Wang, & Chen, 2017;Ohly & Fritz, 2010;Prem, Ohly, Kubicek, & Korunka, 2017).…”

“…From one perspective, creativity is seen as hindered in contexts with severe time pressure, as it forces teams to work faster by making quicker, less-exploratoryhencesafer but less innovative choices (Amabile, Hadley, & Kramer, 2002; THE ASSESSMENT SCALE FOR CREATIVE COLLABORATION (ASCC) VALIDATION AND RELIABILITY STUDY Oldham, 2006). Another view posits that mild-to-moderate time pressure on the other hand, can act as a "challenge stressor" (Prem et al, 2017), sparking motivation and creative effort (Gardner & Cummings, 1988;Hsiao et al, 2017;Ohly & Fritz, 2010).…”

Creativity, a primary academic objective, is crucial in higher education, as economic, informational, societal and environmental advancements rely on people's ability to innovate. Creativity is widely investigated in its individualistic form, yet there is a notable dearth in work that studies its collective dimension, from a learning perspective. This study focuses on validating the psychometric properties of an existing instrument (ASCC), by measuring creative collaboration in blended learning settings. Two hundred and thirty six under and postgraduate students self-evaluated their creative collaboration experiences, using the ASCC instrument. The findings of exploratory factor analysis denote a three-factor (21-item) structure, measuring 'Synergistic Social Collaboration', 'Distributed Creativity', and 'Time Regulation and Achievement', with good internal consistency. An instrument with valid psychometric properties for the assessment of creative collaboration is much-needed in the growing research and practitioners' community. This is critical in the fields of Design, HCI and Engineering, that rely extensively on the creative collaboration (online and offline) of teams to develop innovative products that are suitable for real-world purposes.
