Why are workers prone to sending each other pictures of lovely animals or viral videos that provoke choked giggles in small bedrooms around the world? New research suggests that people use these types of so-called distractions to subconsciously boost their moods, which can lead to increased creativity and better problem solving in the workplace.
Researchers from the University of Western Ontario divided study participants into three groups and put them into specific moods using music and video. The first group listened to an upbeat Mozart piece and watched a video of a laughing baby; the second listened to a musical score from the movie Schindler’s List and watched a news report about an earthquake) and the third listened to music and watched a video that were shown not to affect mood. Volunteers were then asked to learn to recognize a pattern that existed in a problem.
The results of the study, which were published in Psychological Science, the journal of the Association for Psychological Science, showed that the participants in the happy group were vastly better at discerning the pattern than those who were put into negative or neutral moods.
Ruby Nadler, one of the study researchers and a graduate student at the University of Ontario, said the takeaway from this study was that positive moods are helpful in enhancing creative problem solving, while also promoting flexible and careful thinking. "If you have a project where you want to think innovatively, or you have a problem to carefully consider, being in a positive mood can help you to do that," Nadler said in a news release for the Association for Psychological Science.
So next time your coworker sends you a link to the latest laugh-inducing viral video, take a moment to check it out before tackling the most complicated item on your to-do list. Your boss will thank you.
Why were the study participants asked to listen to music and watch videos?
选项
A、In order to ask them to recognize a pattern.
B、In order to show them different music and videos.
C、In order to increase their creative ability.
D、In order to put them into different moods.
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。第二段讲述了研究人员将参试者分为三组,并给他们播放不同的音乐和视频,从而引发不同的心情,然后再去辨认一个问题的解决方式,结果显示心情愉快的一组要好于其他组。故答案为D)“为了使他们的心情不同”。
