However, there have been newer motivation approaches related to work orientation and needs that may offer a chance to gain new insight into how people think about creativity. The present study used a hypothetical hiring scenario to assess layperson beliefs about creativity, conscientiousness, intelligence, and the likelihood of hiring potential candidates who endorsed one of six work orientations (Job, Career, Calling, Kinship, Passion, and Autonomy). In addition, the study accounted for potential domain effects by differentiating between art- and business-related hiring contexts. Data were gathered among 279 university students (62% females). The results suggested that hiring likelihood and ratings of a hypothetical employee's intelligence and conscientiousness were more associated with the orientations of Calling, Career, and Passion; however, creativity was more associated with Autonomy. Job orientation received the lowest ratings for all rated qualities. The findings were mostly consistent across domains of arts and business. Nonetheless, the relationship between hiring probability and hypothetical employees' creativity and intelligence did vary by domain. We discuss the implications of the results and outline fruitful directions for future research.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":"59 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144705537","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}

We conducted a two-week design-thinking exercise with 235 undergraduate students (59 teams) assigned to high or low paradoxical frame conditions. Results indicate that paradoxical frames influence team creativity indirectly through their effects on sense of conflict and integrative complexity. Teams exposed to high paradoxical frames reported greater cognitive conflict, promoting deeper engagement with diverse perspectives. Additionally, paradoxical frames increased integrative complexity, enabling individuals to synthesize opposing viewpoints into creative solutions. Results confirmed a full mediation structure, whereby the effect of paradoxical framing on team creativity operated entirely through these two mediators. These findings extend paradox theory by demonstrating how paradoxical frames transform cognitive tensions into creative outputs at the team level. By identifying sense of conflict and integrative complexity as mediators, we contribute to research on paradox cognition in collaborative settings. Practically, these results provide insights for organizations aiming to leverage cognitive tensions to foster innovation in teams.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":"59 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144647673","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}

The relationship between semantic distance and creativity has traditionally been described using linear models, with the embedded assumption that as semantic distance increases, so does the creative quality of ideas. However, informal observations would suggest that distant associations may sometimes become too incoherent or nonsensical to be considered creative. Using generalized additive models (GAMs), we explored the non-linear nature of this relationship across three divergent thinking tasks: alternate uses, question asking, and metaphor generation. Our results revealed a consistent pattern: human ratings of creativity increased with semantic distance up to a certain threshold (between 0.9 and 1), after which point, additional semantic distance did not translate into more subjectively creative ideas. These findings provide a more nuanced understanding of the interplay between semantic distance and creativity than previously available, suggesting that the relationship is best characterized as curvilinear rather than linear. This work highlights a potential “sweet spot” for semantic distance in creative ideation and holds important implications for models of creativity.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":"59 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144367365","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}

To address this gap, an experimental study was carried out to compare the creative performance of groups in face-to-face versus virtual environments. 54 groups, each comprised of four individuals, completed two creativity tests interposed with an activity that was designed to familiarize members of the group with each other. The groups were split equally between face-to-face and virtual video-based settings. It was seen in all groups that creative fluency decreased, whilst the originality of ideas generated/selected increased after groups completed a familiarization task. It was further found that the creative fluency of groups was significantly lower in virtual compared to face-to-face environments.
