GLOMOsys: A Systems Account of Global Versus Local Processing (2010, background): “…Förster, Friedman, Özelsel, & Denzler, 2006) and conceptual attention (e.g., creativity, category breadth and similarity search; Förster, 2009; Friedman & Förster, 2001, 2002, 2005): global processing occurred after a promotion focus was induced, whereas local processing resulted after…”
Power, stability of power, and creativity (2011, unknown): “Because both approach motivation (Baas, De Dreu, & Nijstad, 2008; Friedman & Förster, 2001, 2002, 2005) and global attentional focus (De Dreu, Nijstad, & Baas, 2011; Förster & Higgins, 2005; Förster, Liberman & Friedman, 2005) promote cognitive flexibility, set-breaking and abstract thinking, it…”
Investigating the structure of semantic networks in low and high creative persons (2014, background): “This view was strengthened by Friedman and Förster (2002) who presented empirical evidence that creative behavior can be mediated by a memory search-based mechanism.”
How extending your middle finger affects your perception of others: Learned movements influence concept accessibility (2009, background): “…bodily expressions in emotional experience (e.g., Stepper & Strack, 1993; Strack et al., 1988) and the link between arm contraction (as in pulling something closer) vs. extension (as in pushing something away) and approach vs. avoidance related processing styles (e.g., Friedman & Förster, 2002).”
The power of one: benefits of individual self-expansion (2013, background): “…to think creatively in a short fixed amount of time – a process that likely requires intense effort and allocation of mental energy – is associated with the approach motivation that is characteristic of self-expansion (Förster, Friedman, Butterbach, & Sassenberg, 2005; Friedman & Förster, 2002).”
Lessons from a Faraway land: The effect of spatial distance on creative cognition (2009, unknown): “解釈レベル理論(Trope et al., 2007)の枠組みの中で、時間的距離の操作が、参加者が創造性を発揮することに結びつく結果が報告されている(Förster et al., 2004) 本研究では、心理的距離の別の次元、空間的距離が創造性課題と洞察課題に与える影響を調査した。 2 つの実験から、タスクが近い場所でなく遠い場所に結びついている場合、創造性課題(実験 1)、洞察課題(実験 2)において高いパフォーマンスを発揮することが明らかになった Introduction 創造性課題におけるパフォーマンスは社会で高く評価されており(cf. Sternberg & Lubart,”
Temporal construal effects on abstract and concrete thinking: consequences for insight and creative cognition. (2004, methodology): “For instance, creativity on alternative uses tests (e.g., generating reasons for why to greet somebody; Friedman & Förster, 2002; Schoppe, 1975) should be enhanced by construing the target object at issue (e.g., greeting) on a higher level of abstraction.”
Workplace duties or opportunities? Challenge stressors, regulatory focus, and creativity (2013, background): “…of regulatory focus on creativity, with research findings supporting overall a positive effect of promotion focus (e.g., Friedman & Förster, 2000; Friedman & Förster, 2001, 2002; Lam & Chiu, 2002), we move away from this main effects approach to focus instead on the role of regulatory focus as a…”
Metacognitive Experiences in Consumer Judgment and Decision Making (2004, background): “Similarly, bodily avoidance feedback provided by arm extension (a problem signal) improves performance on analytic tasks, whereas bodily approach feedback provided by arm flexion (a benign signal) improves performance on creativity tasks (Friedman & Förster, 2000, 2002).”
