ABSTRACT

This paper examines the effects of interaction with metaphors on a measure of creative potential: ideational fluency. For this purpose, 150 Mexican college students were selected. They were assigned to two experimental conditions (major and minor interaction with metaphors) and a control group. The CREA Creative Intelligence Test was used as a measure of ideational fluency and two instruments were developed for the presentation of metaphors. As a control measure, an instrument for the presentation of synonyms was developed. All instruments were designed and presented in Superlab. The analysis of covariance showed statistically significant differences (p < .001) between the means of the three groups, where high scores were consistent with the groups with the greatest exposure. The discussion of the findings revolves around the cognitive implications of metaphors and its possible applications.

摘要

本文研究了与隐喻互动对衡量创造潜力的影响：概念流畅度。为此，选择了 150 名墨西哥大学生。他们被分配到两个实验条件（与隐喻的主要和次要互动）和一个对照组。CREA 创意智力测试被用来衡量概念流畅度，并开发了两种工具来呈现隐喻。作为一项控制措施，开发了一种表示同义词的工具。所有仪器均在 Superlab 中设计和展示。协方差分析显示有统计学意义的差异（p < .001) 在三组的平均值之间，其中高分与暴露量最大的组一致。对研究结果的讨论围绕隐喻的认知含义及其可能的应用展开。
