Gong, Zhengya (author), Gonçalves, M. (author), Nanjappan, Vijayakumar (author), Georgiev, Georgi V. (author)Previous studies have clearly established the impact of culture on design creativity. For example, the presence of cultural values with low uncertainty avoidance (UA, the degree of anxiety and risk aversion that people feel during ambiguous situations) is linked to low workability of creative ideas. Currently, there is limited research on...journal article 2024

Gong, Z. (author), Gonçalves, M. (author), Latif, Ummi (author), Georgiev, Georgi V. (author)Extensive research has focused on the influence of culture on individuals’ performance in design, with either positive or negative effects. Moreover, studies have shown that it is possible to prime individuals’ cultural values to influence their behaviours in design. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has explored priming culture...conference paper 2023
