Extroversion and a comparison of two problem-solving heuristics

Buckley, Mark C. January 1995 (has links)
The purpose of this experiment was to explore the relationship between the "Big Five" personality dimensions, training and problem-solving effectiveness. The second purpose of this study was to explore the effects of training upon the quantity and self-reported quality of solutions generated to ill-structured problems. Subjects generated solutions to a problem and then were trained in either brainstorming or the hierarchical method. Then they were asked to generate additional solutions and rate their solutions. Subjects returned after a month and completed the NEO-FFI and then generated solutions to a different problem. Subjects in the hierarchical condition produced more solutions than those using brainstorming. Subjects in the hierarchical condition also rated their solutions higher on a subjective quality measure. Unexpectedly, the extroversion /introversion personality dimension was not related to overall quantity or quality. There were several personality-training interactions on the quantity and quality measures. / Department of Psychological Science

Transfer of information : is relational processing the answer? / Running title: Spontaneous transfer / Spontaneous transfer.

Krug, Damon Brian January 1990 (has links)
The present research focused on the transfer of information from a learning situation to a problem solving task. In particular, the effect of relational processing upon the transfer of information to the solution of insight problems was considered.The design of the study was a five by two factorial design. Within this design the independent variables were five levels of relational processing, ranging from full relational processing (essay) to individual item processing (deleted letter list) and two levels of instruction, informed and uninformed. The dependent measure was the number of insight problems correctly solved. The problems consisted of ten statements which did not make sense unless one part of the sentence was modified. The subject's task was to supply the necessary information needed to make sense of the sentence.The results showed no effect for type of instruction and there was no interaction between the type of instruction and level of relational processing. There was a significant effect due to level of relational processing. More specifically, the essay condition lead to the greatest amount and individually processed items lead to the lowest amount of information transfer. Further, it was suggested that the relationship between relational processing and the transfer of information was linear. These findings were interpreted as indicating that relational processing was a significant factor in explaining the transfer of information. / Department of Educational Psychology
