Abstract
Team composition affects the creativity of teams in design tasks. Existing research presents mixed results on the impact of team composition on creativity. We conducted an experiment to investigate the effect of three different team categories on design creativity: designers, designers and non-designers (mixed teams), and non-designers. 18 volunteer dyads completed a short design task by generating solution ideas. Three expert judges scored the ideas for originality, usefulness, and compliance with requirements. The judges also assigned independent subjective creativity scores. Fluency and rareness were also calculated. Findings indicate that mixed dyadic teams score highest in almost all variables, thereby suggesting that design is no different than other domains, thus adding to the literature that favors diverse teams for increased creativity.
期刊介绍：
Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy.
Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
