Abstract

A repeated-measures design was used to test for the effects of alcohol on creative writing as measured by use of novel figurative language. 11 male social drinkers participated in a creative writing task under two conditions, alcohol (high dose: 1.1 ml. ethanol/kilogram body weight) and placebo. In the alcohol condition, within-subject comparisons indicated significantly greater quantity of creative writing while intoxicated. These results were interpreted as supporting the belief that alcohol can reduce "writer's block," at least amongst nonalcoholic subjects.

摘要

采用重复测量设计来测试酒精对创造性写作的影响，该影响通过新颖比喻性语言的使用来衡量。11名男性社交饮酒者在两种条件下参与了创造性写作任务，即酒精（高剂量：1.1毫升乙醇/千克体重）和安慰剂条件。在酒精条件下，受试者内比较表明，醉酒时创造性写作的数量显著更多。这些结果被解释为支持这样一种观点，即酒精可以减少“写作障碍”，至少在非酒精依赖受试者中如此。
