This study focused on the social factors and cognitive processes that influence collaborative idea generation, using the research paradigm of group idea generation, evaluation apprehension, and incubation. Specifically, it aimed to explore the impact of exposure to others' ideas, evaluation apprehension, and incubation intervals on collaborative idea generation through three experiments. The results showed that in the process of generating ideas in a group, exposure to others' ideas and evaluation apprehension can lead to productivity deficits in the number and categories of ideas, without affecting the novelty of ideas. Further, exposure to others' ideas and evaluation apprehension had an interaction effect on the number of ideas. As compared with the situation without exposure to others' idea, in that with exposure to others' idea, evaluation apprehension had a weaker impact on the productivity of the number of ideas. Furthermore, incubation intervals were beneficial in reducing the negative effect of exposure to others' ideas and in improving collaborative idea generation productivity.
本研究聚焦于影响合作性创意生成的社会因素和认知过程，采用了群体创意生成、评价忧虑和酝酿的研究范式。具体而言，其旨在通过三个实验探究接触他人想法、评价忧虑和酝酿间隔对合作性创意生成的影响。结果表明，在群体生成创意的过程中，接触他人想法和评价忧虑会导致创意数量和类别上的产出不足，但不影响创意的新颖性。此外，接触他人想法和评价忧虑对创意数量有交互作用。与未接触他人想法的情况相比，在接触他人想法的情况下，评价忧虑对创意数量的产出影响较弱。此外，酝酿间隔有助于减少接触他人想法的负面影响，并提高合作性创意生成的产出。
