This is the result of a new study published in the journal Psychological Science. It is done by psychologist Kathleen Vohs and colleagues from the University of Minnesota, USA. To draw this conclusion, the team followed two groups, one working on a messy table and one working on a clean, tidy table. Participants must fill in the answers on the questionnaire. After that, they were asked to come up with an idea for a charity, and have a light meal.

As a result, the people sitting in the messy room offer many unique creative ideas; While people at the desk neatly tend to like charity and eat healthier, Telegraph said.

According to psychologist Kathleen Vohs, previous research has shown, in a clean room will help people have good thoughts and actions such as not participating in criminal activities, littering and they are more generous. ."But studying this time, we see the benefit of being in a messy room , " he said.

"The word shows, whether you work at a neat or messy table, it will affect your behavior , " Kathleen Vohs added.
