“…In the first phase, participants in the alone condition generated ideas with significantly higher average novelty than participants in the group condition (mean difference = .163, SE = .062, p = .032). By the fifth phase, the hybrid and group conditions showed higher novelty than the alone condition, consistent with findings of Baruah and Paulus (2016). However, the comparison was not significant (hybridp = .176; groupp = .450).…”

Three experiments were designed to test the efficacy of ideation procedures that involved alternation of individual and group idea generation sessions (hybrid brainstorming) as compared to traditional individual and group ideation. The hybrid condition led to the best performance in terms of number of ideas generated. This effect was strongest in comparison to the group condition. A meta-analytic comparison involving all three experiments indicated that the hybrid condition outperformed both the alone and the group conditions. Since after each group idea exchange session there was an enhancement in the number of ideas generated in the alone session, the pattern of performance in the hybrid condition supported the cognitive perspective of group creativity (Nijstad & Stroebe, 2006; Paulus & Brown, 2007). Social cues in the form of the co-presence of other participants in the alone condition, the addition of practice sessions to all conditions, and an additional phase did not change the pattern of results. The results of the experiments support the original suggestion by Osborn (1953) that the most effective brainstorming process is one that involves a variation in individual and group ideation.

“…But the patterns were different for the group and hybrid conditions. Thus there is some evidence that group interaction can enhance the novelty of idea generation, especially in the later phases of brainstorming sessions (see also Baruah & Paulus, 2016).…”

“…This result was consistent with the SIAM model (Nijstad & Stroebe, ). The SIAM model suggested that an idea consists of a central concept, features of that concept and associations with the concept; peers’ ideas could activate problem‐relevant knowledge, inspiring creative ideas via the associative nature of memory (Agnoli et al, ; Baruah & Paulus, ). Our results support these assumptions.…”

Interaction of the originality of peers’ ideas and students’ openness to experience in predicting creativity in online collaborative groups

There has been growing interest in the possibility that peers’ ideas can stimulate students’ creativity in group contexts. However, empirical research on this issue is limited. This study tested the hypothesis that peers’ ideas and students’ openness to experience would predict student creativity and attention to peers’ ideas. Undergraduate students (n = 60) completed creative tasks in an online collaborative group in which the ideas of “peers” were pre‐programmed. Mixed ANOVAs showed support for the hypothesis. Specifically, students with higher (but not lower) openness, when exposed to a high (but not low) rate of peers’ original ideas, paid greater attention to those ideas and were more creative. The implication for education is that teachers should encourage students to share more of their original ideas and to pay more attention to peers’ ideas in online collaborative groups.

“…This allows for a deeper search within each of the subcomponents or categories of the problem and for the generation of more novel ideas ( Baruah and Paulus, 2011 ; Rietzschel et al, 2014 ). The typical cognitive search process involves tapping the most obvious or common ideas first; only later will the more rare and novel ideas surface ( Paulus and Brown, 2003 ; Nijstad and Stroebe, 2006 ; Baruah and Paulus, 2016 ; Puccio et al, 2018 ). When the problem to be discussed is presented in its broad form, it is likely that there will not be a deep search process of all the different elements of the problem.…”

Extensive research and theory has focused on organizational innovation and the organizational factors that influence that innovation. Research on teams has highlighted a similar set of factors as important for team innovation. However, these literatures have not provided a clear picture of the key factors that influence the collaborative idea exchange processes that occur in teams and organizations. The literature on collaborative ideation has provides a useful theoretical and empirical basis for understanding these processes and the conditions required for optimizing creativity in group interactions. We provide the theoretical and empirical basis for a pragmatic approach to enhancing collaborative innovation processes in various organizational settings and highlight additional research needs and future directions.
