In social contexts, creativity is dependent on individualism

Bild
Organizations are governed by socio-culturally determined norms. At the same time, organizations need people who dare to think outside that box and thus use their innate creativity to be able to solve ongoing complex problems. People's values vary, e.g. between collectivism and individualism. The former tend to stay within the box, while the latter tend to venture outside the box. Collectivism poses problems for companies. The Emperor's new clothes, Facit in Åtvidaberg, Sweden, and Apollo 13 are mentioned as examples. It is important to stand up for one's values in combination but to accept the ditto of others. It gives room for reasoning that leads to new insights and conclusions. 3 pages. Please support the blog via Swish (Sweden), MobilePay (Finland) or Wise.

I avhandlingen testar jag Darwins Facial feedback teori i en kontext av idrottspsykologi. Anekdoten indikerade att atleter som aktiverar zygomatic major, en muskel som lyfter mungiporna, förkortar tiden för mental repetering i betydande grad. Studien, som har en experimentell design, bekräftade anekdoten. Bachelor's thesis in emotional psychology. Facial feedback: how a smile can help you interpret the world more positively! In this thesis, I test Darwin's Facial feedback theory in the context of sports psychology.

The study, which has an experimental design, confirmed the anecdote. Stöd gärna bloggen via Swish (Sverige), MobilePay (Finland) eller Wise.
