Paper Finding: Finally, when both the independent variable and uncertainty (mediator) were entered into the equation simultaneously, the independent variable was not significant (b = − .16, n.s.
News Context: Thinking about political correctness could be one way to stimulate creativity in mixed-sex teams. Flickr/Infusionsoft To facilitate creativity in a group brainstorming session, it seems like you'd want people to say whatever comes to their mind, with as little filtering as possible. The study, led by Cornell University's Jack Goncalo, Ph.D., found that mixed-gender groups that thought about political correctness generated more original ideas than other similar teams.
Paper Context: Third, the videotaped measure of uncertainty (mediator) was negatively related to the number of ideas generated (dependent variable), b = − .32, p < .01. Finally, when both the independent variable and uncertainty (mediator) were entered into the equation simultaneously, the independent variable was not significant (b = − .16, n.s. ), and uncertainty remained significant (b = − .27, p < .05).
