Brainstorming is a technique to promote idea generation that may also promote cohesiveness in idea generating groups. Similarities between the rules of brainstorming and the logic of fantasy chaining from symbolic convergence theory are considered. In 41 groups, 151 participants reported their perceptions of freewheeling (i.e., willingness to share impractical ideas), piggybacking (i.e., building on the ideas of others), focusing on quantity (i.e., prioritizing as many ideas as possible), and nonevaluation (i.e., not providing feedback to the ideas of others) and their perceptions of group cohesiveness. Cohesiveness is significantly predicted by increased perceptions of piggybacking and focusing on quantity. Counter to predictions, freewheeling is not positively associated with cohesiveness.

头脑风暴能促进凝聚力吗？集思广益的规则如何反映符号趋同

头脑风暴是一种促进思想产生的技术，也可以促进思想产生小组的凝聚力。考虑了集思广益的规则和符号融合理论中的幻想链逻辑之间的相似性。在41个小组中，有151名参与者报告了他们对随心所欲（即，愿意分享不切实际的想法的意愿），piggy带（即，基于他人的想法），专注于数量（即，优先考虑尽可能多的想法）和无价值（即不向他人的思想及其对群体凝聚力的看法提供反馈。通过增加对of带和专注于数量的感知，可以显着预测内聚力。与预测相反，随心所欲与凝聚力没有正相关。
