Effects of Problem Scope and Creativity Instructions on Idea Generation and Selection (2014, background): “In addition, Rietzschel, Nijstad, and Stroebe (2007) found that participants who were induced to focus on a subcategory of the brainstorming problem generated more original ideas within that subcategory.”
Innovating at Cultural Crossroads: How Multicultural Social Networks Promote Idea Flow and Creativity (2018, background): “Creativity researchers have similarly argued that creative performance is enhanced by the possession of domain-specific skills and knowledge resources relevant to a given task (Amabile, 1983; J. Baer, 1993; Rietzschel et al., 2007).”
Paradoxical frames and creative sparks: Enhancing individual creativity through conflict and integration (2011, background): “This deeper exploration of concepts and categories increases the generation of ideas related to the category and enhances creativity (Rietzschel et al., 2007).”
Beyond productivity loss in brainstorming groups: The evolution of a question (2010, methodology): “Based on the ideas about creativity developed by Rietzschel et al. (2007), we would suggest a somewhat different interpretation.”
Win or Lose the Battle for Creativity: The Power and Perils of Intergroup Competition (2010, methodology): “…implementation, we acknowledge that previous research has frequently measured creativity by simply counting nonoverlapping ideas, irrespective of their originality or usefulness, or by averaging the creativity of all ideas produced by a group (e.g., Goncalo & Staw, 2006; Rietzschel et al., 2007).”
Effects of Training on Idea Generation in Groups (2008, result): “This is consistent with the findings of Rietzschel, Nijstad, and Stroebe (2007) that the association between quality and quantity is a complex one.”
Organizational Learning: From Experience to Knowledge (2011, unknown): “There is increasing evidence that a large, deep and diverse experience base contributes to creativity because it increases the number of potential paths one can search and the number of potential new combinations of knowledge (Amabile, 1997; Rietzschel, Nijstad & Stroebe, 2007; Shane, 2000).”
The Costs of Ambient Cultural Disharmony: Indirect Intercultural Conflicts in Social Environment Undermine Creativity (2013, background): “This measure of idea frequency represents an originality measure of creativity (Diehl & Stroebe, 1987; Rietzschel et al., 2007).”
Crowdsourcing New Product Ideas over Time: An Analysis of the Dell IdeaStorm Community (2013, background): “A possible reason for this ﬁnding comes from a study of “deep exploration” during brainstorming by Rietzschel et al. (2007).”
Collaborative fixation: effects of others' ideas on brainstorming (2011, background): “Whereas Rietzschel et al.’s (2007) findings suggested that priming could lead to exploration, we were able to directly show that fixation can arise from exchanging ideas.”
