The results were not surprising, given the psychology of goup dynamics, i.e., the recognition of a alpha member, the desire for liking and acceptance, competitive and collaborative motivators, etc. I have found that my client’s best ideas come from mind wandering during our sessions. This is the time when I learn from them!Another thought is that if we are other-directed to think of a certain idea, our brain may become circumscribed by that topic area and less open to a full range of ideas. I think that the best ideas are the result of the combination of group work and individual musing. Really enjoy this research topic!
