Two studies examined interaction quality and joint performance on two creative tasks in unacquainted dyads primed for autonomy or control orientations. It was hypothesized that autonomy-primed dyads would interact more constructively, experience more positive mood, and engage the task more readily, and as a result these dyads would perform better. To test this, Study 1 primed orientation and explored verbal creative performance on the Remote Associates Task (RAT). In Study 2, dyads were primed with autonomy and control orientation and videotaped during two joint creative tasks, one verbal (RAT) and one nonverbal (charades). Videotapes were coded for behavioral indicators of closeness and task engagement. Results showed that autonomy-primed dyads felt closer, were more emotionally and cognitively attuned, provided empathy and encouragement to partners, and performed more effectively. The effects of primed autonomy on creative performance were mediated by interpersonal quality, mood, and joint engagement.
两项研究考察了在自主或控制导向启动的陌生二人组中，两个创造性任务上的互动质量和联合表现。研究假设自主导向的二人组将进行更具建设性的互动，体验更积极的情绪，并更愿意参与任务，因此这些二人组的表现会更好。为了验证这一点，研究 1 启动了方向，并探索了远程联想任务（RAT）中的言语创造性表现。在研究 2 中，二人组被自主和控制导向启动，并在两个联合的创造性任务（一个言语的（RAT）和一个非言语的（字谜））期间进行录像。录像带被编码为亲密和任务参与的行为指标。结果表明，自主导向的二人组感到更亲近，情绪和认知上更加协调，对伙伴表示同情和鼓励，并更有效地表现。启动的自主性对创造性表现的影响是通过人际质量、情绪和联合参与来介导的。
