{"pk":26203,"title":"The effect of ”mood”: Group-based collaborative problem solving by takingdifferent perspectives","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Collaborative problem solving based on different perspectivesis an effective strategy for constructing new knowledge anddiscoveries. It remains unclear what kind of interaction pro-cess underlies development of an abstract or integrated per-spective upon experiencing conflict with different perspectivesin a group. The present study investigates two factors in anexperimental setting: (1) groups with a single opposing per-spective (maverick) would hold an advantage over groups and(2) groups with positive moods would hold an advantage overgroups with negativity. We investigate the factors influencingperspective taking in problem-solving groups using conversa-tional agents. Results showed that (1) a single different per-spective in the group can be accepted for perspective takingcompared to several members with an opposing perspective,and (2) positive mood generated by group members facilitat-ing perspective taking compared to negative mood.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Collaborative problem solving; minority influ-ence; emotion and cognition; perspective taking; conversa-tional agents."}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7669v4p4","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Yugo","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hayashi","name_suffix":"","institution":"Ritsumeikan University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26203/galley/15839/download/"}]}
