Abstract

Previous studies have found a negative relationship between creativity and conservatism. However, as these studies were mostly conducted on samples of homogeneous nationality, the generalizability of the effect across different cultures is unknown. We addressed this gap by conducting a study in 28 countries. Based on the notion that attitudes can be shaped by both environmental and ecological factors, we hypothesized that parasite stress can also affect creativity and thus, its potential effects should be controlled for. The results of multilevel analyses showed that, as expected, conservatism was a significant predictor of lower creativity, adjusting for economic status, age, sex, education level, subjective susceptibility to disease, and country-level parasite stress. In addition, most of the variability in creativity was due to individual rather than country-level variance. Our study provides evidence for a weak but significant negative link between conservatism and creativity at the individual level (β = −0.08, p < .001) and no such effect when country-level conservatism was considered. We present our hypotheses considering previous findings on the behavioral immune system in humans.
保守主义对创造力的负面预测:一项横跨 28 个国家的研究
以往的研究发现,创造力与保守主义之间存在负相关关系。然而,由于这些研究大多是在同种国籍的样本中进行的,因此这种效应在不同文化中的普遍性尚不得而知。针对这一空白,我们在 28 个国家开展了一项研究。基于态度可由环境和生态因素共同塑造的理念,我们假设寄生虫压力也会影响创造力,因此应控制其潜在影响。多层次分析的结果表明,正如预期的那样,在调整了经济状况、年龄、性别、教育水平、对疾病的主观易感性和国家层面的寄生虫压力后,保守主义是创造力较低的重要预测因素。此外,创造力的大部分变异是由个人而非国家层面的变异造成的。我们的研究证明,在个人层面上,保守主义与创造力之间存在微弱但显著的负相关(β = -0.08, p <.001),而在考虑国家层面的保守主义时,则没有这种影响。考虑到之前对人类行为免疫系统的研究结果,我们提出了自己的假设。

期刊介绍: Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology publishes papers that focus on the interrelationships between culture and psychological processes. Submitted manuscripts may report results from either cross-cultural comparative research or results from other types of research concerning the ways in which culture (and related concepts such as ethnicity) affect the thinking and behavior of individuals as well as how individual thought and behavior define and reflect aspects of culture. Review papers and innovative reformulations of cross-cultural theory will also be considered. Studies reporting data from within a single nation should focus on cross-cultural perspective. Empirical studies must be described in sufficient detail to be potentially replicable.
