However, the association between digital games use and creativity has been a topic of controversy, as highlighted in previous research. This study aimed to investigate the potential moderating effect of cultural backgrounds on the relationship between digital games use and creativity. To examine this hypothesis, a meta‐analysis of 11 papers (51 effect values) was conducted. The findings revealed digital games use was significantly correlated with originality and elaboration, rather than fluency and flexibility. Moreover, the relationship between digital games use and originality was found to be moderated by cultural collectivism–individualism. Specifically, as the level of individualistic culture increased, the strength of the correlation between digital games use and originality gradually diminished. No such moderating effect was observed for other dimensions of creativity. These results hold important theoretical implications for understanding the impact of digital games use on individual cognitive development. Additionally, they provide practical insights for offering sensitive recommendations on how to effectively harness the positive effects of digital games.","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142225318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Creative information is identified by two key indicators—novelty and appropriateness. To explore the effect of novelty seeking on the temporal processing of novelty and appropriateness, a revised alternative uses task (AUT) was conducted with 29 high novelty‐seeking (HNS) and 31 low novelty‐seeking (LNS) individuals. Event‐related potentials (ERPs) and spontaneous blink rate (EBR) were used to measure temporal dynamics and infer physiological mechanisms. (1) For novelty processing, HNS individuals performed quicker information processing (shorter N1/P2 latency) and had a greater capacity to recognize semantic distance (higher P600 peak amplitude). (2) For appropriate processing, HNS individuals also had a faster information processing rate (shorter N1/P2 latency). (3) HNS individuals had higher baseline EBR and showed enhancements in cognitive speed based on real‐time EBR. In contrast, the LNS group did not show the same improvement even with increased attention allocation. These findings expand the application of the Novelty Seeking Model (NGM) in creative information processing. Additionally, the results of EBR suggest that dopamine might be the critical physiological mechanism through which novelty‐seeking influences creative information processing.","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142198727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study adopted three approaches to explore the impact of childhood harshness and unpredictability on creativity. By using a historiometric approach to investigate the adverse childhood experiences among eminent psychologists in 20tth century, Study 1 found that the proportion experiencing childhood adversity was significantly higher than the proportion who did not, especially in the group experiencing an external threat. Study 2 measured college students' early childhood experiences and creative thinking in a threatening circumstance (COVID‐19 pandemic), which showed that childhood harshness was significantly correlated with the originality of creative thinking. Study 3 explored the moderating role of threat through experimental manipulation. Results showed that childhood harshness predicted originality only in the threatening condition but not in the control condition. These results have theoretical significance for understanding individual creative development.","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142198726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, it traces the conceptual and methodological efforts in developing the construct and describes individual differences in tolerance—intolerance of ambiguity. Then, it examines the empirical studies relating ambiguity tolerance to creative thinking skills, creative performance, motivation for creativity, personality, and creative achievements. The reviewed body of evidence suggests that tolerance of ambiguity strengthens creative motivation, associates with originality, meaning construction, and redefinition skills, and fosters occupational creativity. Third, the paper explores the role of ambiguity tolerance in creative self‐regulation. The conceptual analysis proposes that tolerance of ambiguity is a personal resource to meet the demands of creative work at different levels of complexity—completing a project, pursuing continued creative activity, and growing one's creative enterprise. More specifically, ambiguity‐tolerant individuals tend to engage in intrinsically motivated exploration and experimentation, be open to the process, and playfully approach their tasks. They can endure the discomfort of recurrent encounters with ambiguity throughout the creative process. Furthermore, they may cope with novel, uncertain, contradictory, and complex settings and experiences that one faces in their lifetime dedication to creativity. This comprehensive conceptual framework combines various research perspectives and integrates the individual, social, and developmental aspects of creative self‐regulation. Although a tentative theoretical construction, it identifies mechanisms and processes related to ambiguity tolerance, whose empirical examination will further support expanding research on creative self‐regulation.","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142198729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is especially so when examining creative actions developmentally. A total of 134 business students participated in an innovation tournament in which they were asked to explore product or service categories, generate, evaluate, and select their most creative idea, prepare a business plan of the idea selected, and present their ideas to peers who acted as participants and judges in 16 weeks. While preparing, participants were asked to complete a set of written assignments and questions to assess depth of knowledge of the category chosen, satisfaction, frustration, and self‐evaluations. All ideas were formalized as business plans and evaluated by peers during the innovation tournament. Results showed a positive relationship between depth of knowledge and satisfaction during the idea selection stage. Satisfaction and frustration were positively and negatively related, respectively, to evaluations of the creativity of the ideas. Last, depth of knowledge was the only significant predictor of peer evaluations of the creativity of the idea presented in their business plans. Qualitative findings during reflection showed important challenges for developing something truly original and effective. The implications of the results for creative action from a creative self‐regulatory and metacognitive perspective were discussed.","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Artificial intelligence systems and neural network models can reduce the intricacy of understanding creative cognition. For instance, the generation of ideas could be symbolized as patterns of binary code in which clusters of neurons synchronize their firing and store information inside a neural network, forming connections based on correlation. The Hopfield neural network (HNN) is a simple model known for its biological plausibility in storing and retrieving neuron patterns. We implemented certain modifications to HNN as a step toward the larger framework of creative thinking‐based association. These modifications included introducing pattern weights control, which provides a robust representation for content addressable memory and conceptual links in stored data. We identified two mechanisms controlling the transition from analytical to associative‐based thinking. The first mechanism refers to the activation threshold of neurons, which acts as an on/off switch for the network. The second was the inhibition of stored concepts, similar to an on/off switch that guides the network to search for associative links and when to stop. Our findings suggest that neurons step back from the contextual focus and find alternatives when analytical thinking is insufficient. These alternatives are linked to seemingly unrelated ideas, using inhibition as an analogy to the hyperparameters. Using hyperparameters to inhibit the stored patterns, we could control the creation of associative links.","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a recently proposed framework of 10 creative spaces, we hypothesized that exploring those creative spaces, alongside the personality trait openness to experience and divergent thinking abilities would predict creative activities and achievements in specific domains. Using the Inventory of Creative Activities and Achievements (ICAA) to evaluate eight domains of creativity, two divergent thinking tasks, and one associative task, we analyzed a sample of n = 300 university students. The results of Structural Equation Models revealed that the creative spaces significantly predicted creative activities and creative achievements in the eight domains assessed. The model explained in average 27% of the variance in creative activities and 17% in creative achievements. Openness significantly predicted creative activities in music, literature, and arts and crafts. Intellect did not significantly predict any domain. Lastly, fluency in divergent thinking was positively associated with all domains (average coefficient of β = .15), despite not always reaching significance. We discuss the roles of the recently proposed creative spaces, as well as openness to experience, and fluency in predicting creativity across various domains.","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, do these assessments of aesthetics and creativity rely on identical criteria, or do they vary depending on underlying factors? We addressed this question in this study. Participants (N = 96) evaluated 25 English poems across nine subjective characteristics: reading fluency, vivid imagery, perceived emotions (valence and arousal), surprise, originality, usefulness, aesthetic appeal, and creativity. Linear mixed‐model analysis revealed that a poem's creativity was primarily predicted by its originality, followed by its usefulness and vivid imagery. Conversely, the evaluation of a poem's aesthetic appeal followed a different route; it was mainly predicted by a poem's reading fluency, followed by arousal, valence, and vivid imagery. Additionally, the association between creativity and originality was significantly moderated by participants' personality traits, specifically, openness, vividness of visual imagery, and curiosity. The relationship between aesthetic appeal and reading fluency was moderated by the vividness of auditory imagery trait. These findings suggest that a poem's creativity evaluation closely aligns with the standard definition of creativity, relying on its originality and usefulness. The study provides novel insights into the implicit internal models in the evaluation of poetry.","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141784285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
