Online meetings may affect creativity, study finds. Many companies have moved online because of COVID-19, with work meetings around the world taking place on the Internet instead of in the office But a recent study has found that online meetings may affect creative thinking.
The study, publish in Nature, included 602 people who were divided into random pairs. Each pair was given five minutes to think of creative for one certain item, and then one minute to choose the most creative idea. Some pairs were asked to work together on a video call , while others worked in person. The results showed that the in-person pairs had more ideas than the virtual pairs.
Some researches were also done to see whether focusing on a screen can effect a person's creativity. Team working together virtually spent more time looking directly at each other and remembered less of their surroundings when asked later. The in-person pairs spent more time looking around the room, but also had more ideas.
The researchers did the same study with 1,490 engineers. The pairs were asked to think of new product ideas and chose one as an idea for their company. The results were similar to the first study, with the engineers who met in person thinking of more product ideas, and the virtual pairs making slightly better decision about which idea to choose.
The results suggest that businesses should think carefully about which tasks can be done online, and which-like thinking of new ideas-should be done in person.
