    "title": "The Influence of Group Interaction on Creativity in Engineering Design",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Group work is frequently part of idea generation, despite\nevidence that group interaction may reduce productivity during\nbrainstorming sessions. Idea quantity is one aspect of\ncreativity, but the originality of ideas generated is also\nimportant. In this paper, we examine how different aspects of\ngroup interaction, such as who makes the most contributions to\nan idea and the number of group members contribute to an idea,\nimpact the originality of concepts generated by engineering\nstudents. We found that the most original concepts were\nproduced when the concept originator was the top contributor\nto the design, and when the majority of group members\ncontributed to the concept, particularly among senior students.\nThese results are discussed in relation to previous work and\nsuggestions are made for future research that assesses the\ninteraction between design fixation and group processes.",
