Cooperative problem solving (CPS) is an essential ability in people's daily life. When individuals with different problem-solvers' characteristics (orientation and style) are assigned to different group sizes to solve social tasks, what are the differences in the performance of CPS ability? Based on this, through online experimental tasks, the present study examined the effect of problem-solving orientation and style on CPS ability in online social tasks. Meanwhile, it explored the role of group sizes as an environmental variable. The results showed that the more positive the problem-solving orientation, the better the performance of individual CPS ability. In addition, the more rational the problem-solving styles and the larger the group sizes, the higher the scores of participants' CPS ability. This study provides a new theoretical perspective for the complex relationship between the characteristics of problem solvers and CPS ability, and also provides empirical support for the cultivation of the CPS ability of adolescents.
合作解决问题（CPS）是人们日常生活中的一项重要能力。当具有不同问题解决者特征（取向和风格）的个体被分配到不同的小组大小时，他们在解决社会任务时的 CPS 能力表现有何不同？基于此，本研究通过在线实验任务，考察了在线社会任务中问题解决取向和风格对 CPS 能力的影响。同时，还探讨了小组规模作为环境变量的作用。结果表明，问题解决取向越积极，个体 CPS 能力表现越好。此外，问题解决风格越理性，小组规模越大，参与者 CPS 能力的得分越高。本研究为问题解决者特征与 CPS 能力之间的复杂关系提供了新的理论视角，也为青少年 CPS 能力的培养提供了实证支持。
