In the first experiment, by changing the font legibility of the questionnaire (perceptual fluency manipulation), Alter and Oppenheimer (2010) found that participants estimated cities as farther away when they received information about the cities in a questionnaire with a difficult-to-read font (disfluency condition) compared to where they received it from an easy-to-read-font questionnaire (fluency condition); furthermore, participants described New York City more abstractly when information was presented in a difficult-to-read font than when it was presented in an easy-to-read font. Psychol. Although the specific direction of the influence of ego depletion on creative thinking remains unclear, existing research has shown that resource depletion could affect creative thinking. A total of 124 participants (101 females; Mage = 20.38 years, SD = 1.28) volunteered to take part in the subsequent experiment, including 65 high trait self-control and 59 low trait self-control participants. However, there seemed to be no connection between these two mechanisms. Soc. Response times for congruent and incongruent orderliness-distance pairings for studies 2A–5B. (2016). Bull.

The results showed that low trait self-control participants were more self-controlled in the orderly environment, whereas the self-control of those with high trait self-control was not affected by environmental orderliness. Chae and Zhu (2014) also showed that individuals in an orderly environment are less likely to buy on impulse and persist in an unsolvable task longer. Child Dev. 33, 225–231. In Study 1, the authors measured environmental orderliness, preference for boundaries and other control variables like positive and negative emotions. doi: 10.1037/0022-3514.85.2.217, Wang, X., Lu, K., Runco, M. A., and Hao, N. (2018). These findings provide a new research perspective for the environmental orderliness literature, contribute to the understanding of the common mechanism of the dual effect, and have practical implications for the shaping and cultivation of individuals' self-control behaviors and creative thinking.

Rules and orderliness appeal to girls from an early age, and so arithmetic in elementary school comes easily to her. On the other hand, environmental disorder could improve cognitive flexibility (Chen et al., 2013); thus, it was more beneficial to the creative thinking of the participants with high trait self-control.

The benefits of cognitive disfluency. High-level construal refers to extracting the gist from available information; thus, representations are more abstract, coherent, integrative, structured, schematic, and decontextualized. Psychol. Bull. Affective experience can be decomposed into valence (positive vs. negative) and intensity (the magnitude of the affective response) components (Russell, 1980; Russell et al., 1989). (1998), for extremely fast and extremely slow reactions, we recoded reaction times below 300 ms to 300 ms and those above 3000 ms to 3000 ms. As shown in Figure 2, in study 1A, performance was faster in the congruent condition (orderliness + categories and disorderliness + exemplars) than in the incongruent condition (disorderliness + categories and orderliness + exemplars) (Mincongruent = 1085.29 ms ± 285.19 versus Mcongruent = 980.89 ms ± 311.07), t(44) = 2.25, p = 0.003 < 0.01, Cohen’s d = 0.34, 95% CI [38.71, 210.93], producing a significant IAT effect1. Another interpretation of studies 2A–5B should not be neglected. media have some form of impact, influence and/or effect on its audiences. Another word for orderliness. In the orderly environment, low trait self-control participants produced more creative ideas than those with high trait self-control [Mlow = 1.55, SD = 1.40; Mhigh = 1.00, SD = 1.08; F(1, 118) = 3.05, p = 0.083, ηp2 = 0.03]. The order of disorder: deconstructing visual disorder and its effect on rule-breaking. Construal-level theory of psychological distance. Table 3. Forty-seven students (22 males; mean age = 19.09 ± 0.98 years) voluntarily participated in study 1A, and 37 students participated in study 1B (19 males; mean age = 19.11 ± 1.25 years). This result seemed to contrast the expectation that participants with high trait self-control should have a better performance in the breath-holding task. Environmental orderliness can affect both self-control behaviors and creative thinking; however, little research has focused on the moderators of this effect. Compared to a disorderly environment, an orderly environment, in which the items are arranged in a structured and ordered manner, is associated with maintaining order, abiding by norms, and more benefits to individuals' self-control (Fan et al., 2012; Vohs et al., 2013). As mentioned in the introduction, construal levels directly alter the valence of affective experiences, such that when considered in an abstract manner rather than in a concrete manner, participants tended to experience more positively (Eyal et al., 2004; Fujita et al., 2006; Labroo and Patrick, 2009; Williams et al., 2014). 22, 437–442.

A. Psychol. Keep Cleaning Tools Handy. The chipmunk illustrates orderliness in its home by designating a specific function for each room it creates. Furthermore, the explanation based on the available self-control resources could be used not only for the effect of environmental orderliness on self-control behaviors and creative thinking; it might also be used to explain other psychological and behavioral effects of environmental orderliness. The present research makes two important contributions. It was consistent with the main effect of environmental orderliness hypothesis. The disorderliness category included eight words like cluttered and chaos; see Table 1 for the Chinese words and their English translations. In a review, Trope and Liberman (2010) stated that construal level refers primarily to the way in which people mentally represent information in an abstract or concrete manner, intrinsically focusing on the perception of what will occur, i.e., the processes that produce the representation of the event itself. In future research, behavioral big data, such as those related to behavioral orderliness (e.g., Cao et al., 2018, 2019; Yao et al., 2019), could be used to classify trait self-control, this may increase the representativeness of the sample and add natural behavior observations to compensate for the weakness of the small sample size and social desirability bias of the measures based on self-report questionnaires. Study 2 (n = 300) evaluated the effect of other personality traits that we hypothesized would improve retrieval: need for control, orderliness, memory, computer literacy, minimalism, stress resistance, sociability and empathy. Hypothesis 1: People tend to associate orderly words with high-level construal words (categories or abstractness types) and disorderly words with low-level construal words (exemplars or concreteness types) (CLT-congruent pairings) more than people tend to associate orderly words with low-level construal words and disorderly words with high-level construal words (CLT-incongruent pairings). Measures of time-series orderliness, e.g., the approximate entropy (ApEn) statistic (Pincus SM. A preference for organization is associated with several disorders, but is widespread in the general population as well. sensitivity and political conservatism, and that this effect was especially relevant for iii Contamination/Pathogen disgust. The data from the remaining 36 participants (10 males; mean age = 19.25 ± 0.60 years) in study 2A, 39 participants (20 males; mean age = 18.79 ± 0.77 years) in study 2B, 41 participants (19 males; mean age = 19.87 ± 0.68 years) in study 3A, 33 participants (12 males; mean age = 18.18 ± 0.68 years) in study 3B, 38 participants (18 males; mean age = 19.13 ± 1.45 years) in study 4A, 37 participants (17 males; mean age = 19.40 ± 1.46 years) in study 4B, 38 participants (18 males; mean age = 19.24 ± 1.85 years) in study 5A, and 37 participants (19 males; mean age = 19.27 ± 0.93 years) in study 5B were used. doi: 10.1037/0033-295X.109.1.3, Greenwald, A. G., Mcghee, D. E., and Schwartz, J. L. (1998). For example, an orderly experience leads to global perceptual processing, whereas a disorderly experience leads to local perceptual processing (Li et al., 2019b), which may be because order increases the available self-control resources and disorder reduces the available self-control resources. 18, 619–641. Future research should consider and examine this issue. An orderly environment has a positive influence on individuals' state self-control behaviors, whereas a disorderly environment is beneficial to creative thinking. Front. Error bars represent 2 SEM. Issues 52, 85–110. In addition, other researchers found that individuals in a disorderly environment showed a higher prototype activation rate and correct rate of problem-solving, confirming once again the facilitating effect of disorder on creative thinking (Zheng et al., 2016).

The sum of friends‘̀and lovers'́ self-control scores predicts relationship quality. Psychol. A., Weiss, A., and Mendelsohn, G. A. Creative thinking is a way of thinking that enables individuals to produce new and unique ideas or products (Sternberg and Lubart, 1996). 33, 1306–1321. The same pattern of results emerged in study 1B (Mincongruent = 1351.92 ms ± 289.02 versus Mcongruent = 1171.53 ms ± 341.55), t(35) = 2.82, p = 0.008 < 0.01, Cohen’s d = 0.47, 95% CI [50.45, 310.33]. 37, 492–501. Stimuli used for psychological distance in studies IATs 2A–5B. More specifically, in Experiment 1, we focused on the moderating effect of trait self-control on environmental orderliness affecting self-control by exposing participants to a real environment. doi: 10.1111/j.1467-9280.2008.02077.x, Moffitt, T. E., Arseneault, L., Belsky, D. W., Dickson, N., Hancox, R. J., Harrington, H., et al.

Examinations of word frequency, word strokes, and word valence yielded no systematic differences between words in each group, which was measured by 20 other participants before testing with the IATs. 46, 1049–1054. Construal level theory (CLT), a purely cognitive orientation theory, divided this abstract/concrete representation of stimuli into two levels: low- and high-level construal (Trope and Liberman, 2003; Dhar and Kim, 2007). CLT has proposed that self-control was impacted by people’s subjective construal of events. J. Pers. 4, 2379–2394. A median split was used to sort participants into high vs. low self-control groups. Our study explored the moderating effects on both state self-control behaviors and creative thinking and identified a new boundary condition for the dual effect; that is, the impact of environmental orderliness on state self-control is only verified in individuals with low trait self-control, whereas its influence on creative thinking is only confirmed in those with high trait self-control. The Coherence Effect describes how to tap into the laws of nature to improve health, higher brain functioning and well-being. Orderliness is associated with other qualities such as cleanliness and diligence-and the desire for order and symmetry, and is generally considered to be a desirable quality. doi: 10.1177/0146167211398362, Schmeichel, B.

Effects of fluency on psychological distance and mental construal (or why New York is a large city, but New York is a civilized jungle). Psychol. Studies of the respective psychological mechanisms of the dual effect showed that the perception of a threat to personal control mediates the relationship between environmental orderliness and state self-control behaviors (Chae and Zhu, 2014); cognitive flexibility and heuristic processing are the mechanisms by which environmental orderliness influences creative thinking (Chen et al., 2013). KL, FL, and YL designed the experiment and wrote the manuscript. Mark. 27, 198–208. However, based on hypothesis 4, in the four studies, we expected participants to respond faster in the PD-incongruent condition than in the PD-congruent condition. Bull. Rev. Besides, there was also no difference in the number between different trait self-control participants, F(1, 118) <1, p > 0.05, ηp2 = 0.003 (see Figure 5).

The participants have been exposed to an orderly or a disorderly room and asked to complete a breath-holding task to measure self-control. In this study, we investigated the moderating effect of trait self-control on environmental orderliness, which influences both state self-control behaviors and creative thinking. When the instructions were compatible with PD pairings, one response key was mapped for either orderly concepts or psychologically distal concepts, and the other response key was mapped for either disorderly concepts or psychologically proximal concepts; conversely, when the instructions were not compatible with PD pairings, one response key was mapped to either orderly concepts or psychologically proximal concepts, and the other response key was mapped for either disorderly concept or psychologically distal concepts.
