“…In the first case the information comes from the external world; in the second it is generated internally. Indeed there is increasing recognition of the extent to which creative outcomes are contingent upon internally driven incremental/iterative processing (Basadur, 1995; Chan & Schunn, 2015; Feinstein, 2006).…”

Although creativity is encouraged in the abstract it is often discouraged in educational and workplace settings. Using an agent-based model of cultural evolution, we investigated the idea that tempering the novelty-generating effects of creativity with the novelty-preserving effects of imitation is beneficial for society. In Experiment One we systematically introduced individual differences in creativity, and observed a trade-off between the ratio of creators to imitators, and how creative the creators were. Excess creativity was detrimental because creators invested in unproven ideas at the expense of propagating proven ones. Experiment Two tested the hypothesis that society as a whole benefits if individuals adjust how creative they are in accordance with their creative success. When effective creators created more, and ineffective creators created less (social regulation), the agents segregated into creators and imitators, and the mean fitness of outputs was temporarily higher. We hypothesized that the temporary nature of the effect was due to a ceiling on output fitness. In Experiment Three we made the space of possible outputs open-ended by giving agents the capacity to chain simple outputs into arbitrarily complex ones such that fitter outputs were always possible.With the capacity for chained outputs, the effect of social regulation could indeed be maintained indefinitely. The results are discussed in light of empirical data.

“… 2. Research on product development and creativity has often focused on reframing rather than framing. For example, major product development breakthroughs have been attributed to a reframing of the problem rather than a focus on solutions (Basadur, 2001). Indeed, seeing problems in a new way can sometimes be key to solving them because “how a problem is framed will yield a corresponding change in the solutions that are considered suitable” (Lipshitz & Waingortin, 1995, p. 152).…”

You’ve Been Framed! The Effect of Opportunity and Prosocial Framing on the Novelty and Usefulness of Student Solutions

Creativity, the production of ideas that are both novel and useful, is increasingly important to businesses' long-term success. This study looks at whether instructors can use framing-increasing the saliency of some aspects of a perceived reality in a communication-to affect the creativity of student solutions. More specifically, building on research on issues interpretation, the study examines the effect of opportunity framing on the novelty of student ideas. Building on the literature on perspective taking, the study also looks at the effect of prosocial framing on the usefulness of student ideas. Using a sample of 76 students, I found that students who received an assignment description that included opportunity framing produced more novel solutions. Students who received the same assignment but with prosocial framing created less useful solutions. These findings indicate that the novelty and usefulness (i.e., the creativity) of student solutions can be affected by framing and suggest that framing can be a valuable tool for instructors aiming to encourage creativity. Furthermore, by demonstrating that different types of framing affect novelty and usefulness, this study also
