This finding shows that bilinguals are overall more creative than monolinguals.

This cross-sectional study delved into the various cognitive and affective empathy facets—that is, perspective-taking, online simulation, emotion contagion, proximal responsivity, and peripheral responsivity—and their contributions to creative writing. Further, it examined the mediating effects of associative thinking—conceptualized as a common empathy-creativity resource—on the relationship between empathy facets and creative writing. Two-hundred twenty participants (university students) completed performance-based tasks and self-report measures of creative writing, associative thinking, and empathy. A latent mediation model implemented in Structural Equation Modeling indicated two effects of empathy facets on creative writing, with perspective-taking emerging as a positive predictor. Additionally, peripheral responsivity (i.e., affect sharing in indirect contexts) exhibited an indirect positive influence on creative writing, mediated by associative thinking. In summary, associative thinking appears to be an important ingredient in both empathy and creative writing, while cognitive empathy, specifically intuitive perspective-taking, contributes significantly to creative writing skills. Future studies should further explore these connections and their causalities, possibly using experimental or longitudinal approaches.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":"58 4","pages":"739-754"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143248987","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}

Therefore, examining the comparative relationship between school culture's openness to creative solutions and teaching practices in Asian and European countries is worthwhile. This multinational study employed data from 23 Asian and European countries to scrutinize the connection between school culture's openness to creative solutions and inquiry-based teaching, with teachers' self-efficacy in inquiry-based teaching as the mediating factor. The results extended the findings of a previous single-country investigation and provided evidence supporting an indirect effect of school culture's openness to creative solutions on inquiry-based teaching as mediated by teacher self-efficacy across all 23 countries.

Despite the late exposure to COVID-19 and the adoption of an elimination approach that afforded opportunities for performing arts to continue to varying extents between 2019 and 2022, cultural workers in Aotearoa New Zealand, as with their overseas counterparts, experienced significant and consequential disruption to their working conditions and lives. Taking into account the specificity of Aotearoa New Zealand's performing arts sector and the government's COVID-19 response, the article contributes to the empirical examination of COVID-19 experiences by teasing out narratives of impact from cultural workers. The thematic analysis demonstrates how participants presented (1) COVID-19 as responsible for financial, emotional, and psychological costs, (2) framed opportunities arising from disrupted working conditions and wage subsidy as “silver linings,” (3) were reliant on digital technologies, and (4) constructed the return to “normal” as marked by the COVID-19 “aftermath.” The article argues that uniting these perceptions and articulations of impact is the ongoing (re)evaluations of risks and benefits by cultural workers of working conditions that predate COVID-19.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":"58 4","pages":"722-738"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143253339","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 compared a male sample of prisoners in a maximum-security penitentiary (<i>n</i> = 140), police officers (<i>n</i> = 122), and the general population (<i>n</i> = 106) on three different aspects of malevolent creativity: self-reported malevolent creativity behavior (MCBS), willingness to engage in malevolent creativity on a test (MCT), and malevolent creativity potential on that test (reduced <i>n</i> = 285). Group comparisons (ANOVAs) differed for different malevolent creativity aspects: Prisoners reported more malevolent creativity behavior in daily life (MCBS) than nonprisoners, which may reflect their alleged criminal personality or the effects of confinement on creative coping with threat.

No differences in initial willingness to engage in malevolent creativity (MCT) emerged.

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":"47 1","pages":""},"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}
