We examined self-reports on performance of a group with untutored, unconstrained assignments (without external feedback) and contrasted it with 'control' performers in tutored sessions (with external feedback) to check if emotive self-regulation, based on participants' auto-feedback perceptions generate a better product trajectory. Does positive self-feedback work well and influence creative strategy in a positive way, just as proponents of 'emotional intelligence' advocate? Thus, could emotive self-feedback either reinforce or supplant conventional tutoring with external feedback signals in design schools. A brainwave entrainment was carried out to measure energy output and compare with self-reports during given intervals of the assignment. Results indicate presence of a reliable self-regulatory mechanism in which emotive-cognitive reflexes produces sufficient feedforward for task appraisal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
