Finding it hard to make your team together? A cup of coffee may work as magic and help people remain more alert as well as work together as a team, say researchers including one of an Indian-origin.<\/p>\n
According to the research, people who drank coffee beforehand, gave more positive reviews for their group’s performance on a task and their own contribution.<\/p>\n
Coffee seems to work its magic in teams by making people more alert, said Amit Singh, from The Ohio State University.<\/p>\n
“Not surprisingly, people who drank caffeinated coffee tended to be more alert. We found that increased alertness was what led to the positive results for team performance,” Singh said.<\/p>\n
The results were based on twin studies, published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, involving over 100 students.<\/p>\n
The first study involved undergraduate students who took part in a coffee tasting task. While half of them were asked to drink a cup of coffee and rate its flavour at the beginning, the other half did this at the end of the experiment.<\/p>\n
Those who drank coffee before the discussion rated themselves and their fellow team members more positively than those who drank coffee after the discussion, Singh said.<\/p>\n
In the second study, students drank coffee at the beginning of the study, of them, half drank decaf and the others drank caffeinated brew.<\/p>\n
Those who drank the caffeinated coffee rated themselves as more alert than those who drank decaf. They also rated themselves and their fellow group members more positively than others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
