استخراج نماد بدن‌مند خلاقیت (مبتنی بر نظریه شناخت بدن‌مند) و بررسی تاثیر آن بر میزان خلاقیت دانشجویان طراحی صنعتی

مقدمه: پژوهش در حیطه خلاقیت به ‌عنوان اساس طراحی و جنبه‌ای‌ قابل تامل از زندگی مدرن امروزی، همواره حائز اهمیت است. هدف از پژوهش دو مرحله‌ای حاضر که به روش آمیخته (کیفی_کمی)، و به ‌صورت نیمه‌آزمایشی در مرحله کمی، با طرح پیش‌آزمون_پس ‌آزمون همراه با گروه گواه انجام شد، استخراج نماد بدن‌مند خلاقیت (مبتنی بر نظریه شناخت بدن‌مند) در مرحله نخست و بررسی تاثیر این نماد بر میزان خلاقیت دانشجویان طراحی صنعتی، در مرحله دوم بود.روش کار: ابتدا نماد بدن‌مند خلاقیت بر اساس تصاویر نمایشی از 80 هنرجوی تئاتر، استخراج و توسط 5 متخصص، داوری و مجددا توسط 30 دانشجوی هنر داوطلب از دانشگاه هنر اسلامی تبریز، مورد رای‌گیری نهایی قرار گرفت. جامعه آماری مرحله دوم پژوهش، شامل تمامی دانشجویان طراحی صنعتی دانشگاه هنر اسلامی تبریز و گروه نمونه 30 تن از آنان بودند که به صورت تصادفی، انتخاب و به دو گروه 15 نفره آزمایش و گواه تقسیم شدند. ابزار سنجش، فرم ب تصویری آزمون خلاقیت torrance در مراحل پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون بود. با این تفاوت که گروه آزمایش حین اجرای پس‌آزمون، با تصویر نماد بدن‌مند خلاقیت مواجه شدند، اما گروه گواه، هیچ‌ نوع مداخله‌ای دریافت نکردند. جهت تحلیل‌داده‌های آزمون نیز از روش کوواریانس چند‌متغیره و نرم‌افزار spss-23 استفاده شد.یافته ‌ها: نتایج حاکی از موفقیت در استخراج نماد بدن‌مند خلاقیت (نشانگر لحظه آهان) در مرحله نخست و تاثیر معنادار آن بر افزایش زیر‌مولفه‌ سیالی خلاقیت در گروه آزمایش بود ( 18/545 f=0/01>p)، اما تاثیر معنا‌داری بر سایر زیر مولفه‌های خلاقیت مشاهده نشد. نتیجه‌گیری: بر اساس نتایج حاصل، امکان استخراج نماد بدن‌مند خلاقیت و کاربرد آن به ‌عنوان تسهیل‌‌گر، محرک محیطی یا ماشه‌چکان هیجانی_شناختی موثر بر سیالی (اندازه اثر 0/436)، به ‌عنوان یکی از اجزای شناختی خلاقیت مطرح می‌شود. اما نتایج تکمیلی در این حیطه، قطعا نیازمند شواهد عصب‌شناختی و آزمایش‌های گسترده‌تری است.

generating and considering the effect of embodied symbols of creativity (embodied cognition-based theory) on industrial design students

introductionstudies emphasize the possibility of cognitive and emotional controlling of creativity. various studies indicate that emotional and behavioral harassment could be implemented independent of conscious choice and guidance, which could be applied to influence creativity.these studies use external environmental stimuli and preparation techniques to activate mental representations, often based on the theory of embodied cognition, an approach that provides a basis for turning mental states into physical ones and vice versa. in other words, physical states can affect or even induce psychological states and thus affect behavioral outcomes. over time, the concept that creativity also has a physical foundation has gradually evolved. research evidence has shown that embodying common verbal metaphors in a specific language, both mentally and physically, can lead to the promotion of convergent and divergent thinking. therefore, this research raises these questions for the first time: which symbol of embodiment can be attributed to creativity? furthermore, can such an embodied symbol replace embodied verbal metaphors related to the concept of creativity and be used as a trigger or environmental stimulus to facilitate creativity?therefore, this innovative research aims to extract the embodied symbol of creativity (based on the embodied cognition approach) and investigate its impact on creativity.methodsthis mixed-method research was carried out in two stages: 1) qualitative-extracting the embodied symbol of creativity and 2) quantitative-examining this symbol on the level of creativity of industrial design students. first, during a call with the aim of extracting the physical symbol of creativity, the students of theater schools in the country were invited to imagine themselves in a state as if a creative idea came to their mind and then take pictures of their performance state (facial mimicry, shoulder and hand position). then, the set of submitted images (80 images) was judged by five experts. next, this symbol was reevaluated and voted on 30 volunteer art students at tabriz islamic art university, so the image with the most affinity for inducing the concept of creativity was selected as an embodied symbol of creativity.in the second stage, to investigate this symbol’s effectiveness on creativity, a semi-experimental method was used with a pretest-posttest design along with a control group. the target population included all students in the 4th to 6th semester of bachelor of industrial design at tabriz islamic art university. the sample group included 30 people who volunteered to participate in the research and were randomly divided into two groups of 15 people as experimental and control groups. before the start of the intervention, both groups took torrance’s figural test as a pretest (form b) and were again tested with the same test as the posttest after two weeks. during the posttest, the experimental group, at the same time, was given the embodied symbol of creativity as an intervention, but the control group received no intervention. the data obtained were analyzed using the multivariate covariance methods on spss-23 software.resultsin the first stage of the research, the images received from 80 theater students showed that 68% of the images are closely similar in terms of facial expressions, shoulder, and hand movements (indicating the aha moment). in the meantime, after the final judging by five experts and voting by 30 art students, figure no. 1 was chosen as the embodied symbol of creativity with the most votes (13 votes), which was 43% of the total votes.in the second stage, the average age (standard deviation) of the experimental and control groups were calculated as 21.53±0.834 and 21.80±0.941, respectively. in addition, the information about the participants’ gender, separated into two experimental and control groups, showed that the gender of the majority of the experimental group members was female (60%), and the gender of the majority of the control group members was male (93.3%).this study examined the impact of tangible symbols of creativity on the creativity levels of industrial design students. the descriptive findings revealed an increase in the creativity post-test scores of the experimental group. this improvement was evident in key statistics like the mean and standard deviation. meanwhile, the control group’s scores remained essentially unchanged. the mean (standard deviation) in the pre-test and post-test of the experimental group was 159.20 (69.68) and 178.73 (59.45), respectively, and the mean (standard deviation) in the control group’s pre-test and post-test were 181.13 (59.11) and 180.13 (60.67), respectively.multivariate covariance analysis tests were used to determine the effect of the embodied symbol of creativity on the level of creativity and its sub-components (initiative, flexibility, fluency, and expansion). however, before the inferential analysis, parametric assumptions were also observed. shapiro-wilk test to measure the normality of the distribution of the research variables, levine’s test to check the equality of error variances, m-box test to check the homogeneity of the variances of the dependent variables, and the assumption of homogeneity of the regression slope.in order to determine the effectiveness of the embodied symbol of creativity on the creativity sub-components, the multivariate covariance analysis test was used, indicating its significant effect on the fluency sub-component of creativity in the experimental group (f=18.54, p<0.01). moreover, the effect size (eta square) indicates that the changes in the scores of the groups in the fluency component, as much as 0.436, were caused by the implementation of the independent variable (an embodied symbol of creativity).conclusionthe findings indicate the extraction of the embodied symbol of creativity in the innovative way of this research and its ability as a trigger (effect size 0.436) of the cognitive dimension of the creativity process based on the promotion of the fluency component (f=18.54,
