这并不是什么坏事。任何一个曾经在星巴克办公的人都知道,在一群陌生人旁边,吃着小蛋糕把工作搞定,有其特殊的魅力。空气中弥漫着一股咖啡因刺激下的十足干劲。那种无形的情谊是安静的办公室里无从体会的。工作效率确实是会传染的。你可能会说,在咖啡馆工作或写作会让你更有创造力——科学证明,你是对的。
It turns out there literally is something productive in the air in public places: namely, the sound waves. A 2017 study from the University of British Columbia found that, counter-intuitively, a moderate amount of background noise can actually make you more creative than the bliss of silence.
事实是,在公共场合,空气中确实存在着能让你做事更加高效的东西——它便是,声波。英属哥伦比亚大学2017年的一项研究发现,比起一片寂静,适度的嘈杂声响实际上会让你更有创造力,这一发现与我们的日常认知背道而驰。
This conclusion resulted from an insidious study in which researchers piped increasing volumes of background noise into a room full of students engaged in word-association tests and product brainstorms, both of which demanded focus and creativity. Students performed best and generated the most creative solutions when working under moderate noise conditions—70 decibels of ambient sounds. They performed worse in low noise (50 db, the volume of a quiet room) and poorest in high noise (85db, the volume of a garbage disposal). Incidentally, 70 db is about the same volume of background noise that you’d find in a crowded cafe.
