The relations of reflective and intuitive thinking styles with task performance: A meta‐analysis
这项元分析研究了反思性和直觉性思维风格与工作场所任务绩效的关系，发现反思性思维风格对任务绩效有正向预测作用，且在高任务复杂性、高创造性和高时间压力环境下更强。
Abstract We conducted a meta‐analysis to examine the relations of individual differences in reflective (or rational) and intuitive thinking styles with workplace task performance. We meta‐analyzed 113 effect sizes from 71 independent samples ( N = 11,713). Results indicate that reflective thinking style has a positive and non‐zero meta‐analytic relation with task performance ( ρ = .213). This positive relation is stronger in environments characterized by higher task complexity, greater importance of creativity and innovation for work tasks, and higher time pressure associated with work tasks. Intuitive thinking style, conversely, has a very small but positive meta‐analytic relation with task performance ( ρ = .051), and this relation is stronger in environments characterized by higher task complexity. Finally, incremental validity analyses reveal that reflective thinking style explains unique variance in task performance, beyond conscientiousness and intelligence (general mental ability). Overall, this meta‐analysis demonstrates that reflective thinking style is an important antecedent to task performance.
