Abstract

Prior research on the relationship between emotion and creativity has mostly focused on the influence of incidental emotions on creative performance. The present study aimed to explore how incidental and integral emotions interact to influence the generation of creative metaphors from the perspective of the affect priming theory. In the study, we applied video clips to induce participants’ positive or negative incidental emotions while selecting metaphors that ask participants to describe personal emotional experiences with positive or negative valence to manipulate integral emotions. Participants generated several metaphors immediately after watching the video clips. The study found that participants who watched happy (sad) videos generated the most creative metaphors when expressing positive (negative) emotional experiences, which suggests that integral and incidental emotions interact to influence the generation of creative metaphors through the emotion congruency effect. The results are further discussed from the perspective of affect priming theory.

整体情绪和偶然情绪对创造性隐喻表现的交互影响

以往关于情绪与创造力之间关系的研究大多集中于偶然情绪对创造力表现的影响。本研究旨在从情感引物理论的角度，探讨偶然情感和整体情感如何相互作用，影响创造性隐喻的产生。在研究中，我们使用视频剪辑来诱发被试的积极或消极偶发情绪，同时选择要求被试描述个人积极或消极情绪体验的隐喻来操纵整体情绪。参与者在观看视频片段后立即产生了多个隐喻。研究发现，观看快乐（悲伤）视频的参与者在表达积极（消极）情绪体验时产生的隐喻最有创意，这表明整体情绪和附带情绪通过情绪一致性效应相互作用，影响了创意隐喻的产生。我们将从情感引物理论的角度进一步讨论这些结果。
