The Novel Explorations of Work and Innovation through the Design, Evaluation, and Application of Science (NEW IDEAS) Lab
Directed by Dr. Tin Nguyen, the NEW IDEAS Lab applies scientific methods to study how people experience and navigate innovative work in a variety of contexts, often amidst social, environmental, and resource constraints. The NEW IDEAS Lab conducts both basic and applied research, relying on multidisciplinary perspectives and a blend of qualitative and quantitative methods. Topics currently being studied include:
- Consequences of creative idea rejection
- Emotional experiences of creative work
- Imposed and self-constructed environments for creativity and innovation
- Self-regulation for creative action
- Creative production of event security in resource-limited areas
- The creation and sustainability of behavioral threat assessment and management (BTAM) programs
