MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Grant Given for THURSDAY, DECEMBER I. 131 i Creative Solution ; Problem Research , Eugene - Mental attitude, personal involvement, and ; conflict may be among the , vital factors in the production t of creative solutions to prob- lems, according to Dr. Ray Hy ' man, associate professor of ; psychology at the University . of Oregon. Dr. Hyman has recently re- ceived a $5,000 grant from the , General Electric Foundation for the second consecutive year for this research on the factors which inhibit or stim ulate creative problem-solv ing, particularly in technology and science. In one series of experiments during the past year, groups of university psychology stu dent were presented with a problem involving ways of en couraging European tourists ' to visit the U.S. Each group was asked to list either the , advantages or the disadvan tages of common or uncom mon solutions to the problem, and then come up with their own solutions. The experiment created two different conditions under which the information was absorbed, setting up cither positive or negative mental attitudes toward the informa tion. On the whole, those who had listed the advantages tended to incorporate these so lutions into their final essays, while those who had listed the disadvantages tended to avoid use of these solutions. "The effect of the induced negative attitude toward the obvious or common ideas seems to have 'blocked' the subjects in this group from employing themes they other wise would have incorporated into their solutions," Dr. Hy man explained. "As a consequence, these subjects produced solutions by using new themes, ones that were more novel. . .We are tempted to suggest that their solutions, therefore, are some what more 'creative' than those produced by the other groups," he said.
