![]() This can range from trivial decisions, such as deciding who picks up the kids from school, to solving complex problems, such as developing new and sustainable sources of energy. Many of the activities that we carry out in our daily lives tap into the ability to solve problems creatively. This ability to report on the solution search of insight demonstrates that, as proposed by the theory, insight involves conscious, cognitive operations. ![]() Moreover, early on, participants reported an increased experience of problem difficulty for puzzles later solved with insight. Although restructuring, indeed, preceded insight solutions more often, it seemed a more general problem-solving skill also applied for non-insight solutions. Crucially, as suggested by the integrated theory of insight, impasse was not a prerequisite for insight to occur. Surprisingly, we could not corroborate the otherwise consistently reported higher solution accuracy and faster solution speed for insight. As expected, participants reported higher suddenness of and confidence in insight solutions than non-insightful ones. For each puzzle, participants indicated word puzzle difficulty, solution confidence, solution suddenness, and the experiences of impasse and restructuring. We assessed some of the premises of this theory by asking participants ( N = 42) to solve 70 word puzzles (CRAT) that can either be solved with insight or non-insight. However, only if those operations lead to an impasse, insight is achieved through unconscious processes. Weisberg (2015) proposed an integrated theory of insight arguing that insight, like non-insight, mainly depends on conscious, cognitive operations with restructuring as a distinguishing feature of insight. Although insight has a distinct phenomenological and behavioral signature, its driving mechanism remains debated. This phenomenon is known as the Aha! experience (insight). However, sometimes a perplexing problem is resolved by a quantum leap in understanding. I don’t have a problem with you drinking, I just didn’t like the way it made me feel or act.Īnd perhaps as more people embrace initiatives like Dry July and this month’s Ocsober, non-drinking can move from a place where it is considered out of the ordinary, to instead encourage others to consider learning who they are without a drink in their hand.In everyday life, we mainly solve problems with a conscious solution search (non-insight). I’m learning to navigate this by being open, honest, and showing that I’m generally pro-alcohol for other people, just not for myself. Maybe people feel judged or defensive of their choices. And while I won’t deny that a couple of drinks work wonders on both the relaxation and networking front – these days I can’t imagine not being drink-free for both my business and social life.Īs for how other people feel when they find out I don’t drink – I’ve noticed we often become uncomfortable. I’ve also built a business from the ground up that fuels me more than a bottle of prosecco ever could. So what’s life like since becoming the soda water guzzler at the table? My circle of friends has expanded into new worlds and interests that were previously off limits and my partner and I share a much deeper bond. And as non-alcoholic bars spring up across the country, ‘generation sober’ – Generation Z – is beginning to embrace the sober curious culture. ![]() Still, more and more people are choosing not to drink according to the National Drug Strategy Household Survey 2019. ![]()
