Study Notes
Creativity and Innovation Definitions
- Creativity is generating novel and appropriate ideas, problem solutions, or insights.
- Innovation is intentionally introducing and applying new ideas, processes, products, or procedures to benefit individuals, groups, organizations, or society.
Markers of Creativity (De Dreu et al.)
- Fluency: Number of non-redundant ideas generated.
- Originality: Uncommonness or infrequency of ideas.
- Flexibility: Ability to use different cognitive categories and perspectives.
Dual Pathway to Creativity Model (DPCM)
- Two main pathways to creative performance:
- Cognitive Flexibility: Breaking from sets, divergent processing for broad idea generation.
- Cognitive Persistence: Persistent analysis, systematic exploration of fewer categories for depth in idea generation.
- Pathways can operate independently or together.
Creativity and Cognitive Activation/Arousal (DPCM)
- Moderate cognitive activation/arousal is key for both cognitive flexibility and persistence, thus enhancing creativity.
- Contrasts with the belief that creativity needs relaxation and unfocus.
Moods and Creativity (DPCM)
- Positive moods increase creativity primarily by boosting cognitive flexibility (wider idea exploration).
- Negative moods can increase creativity by promoting cognitive persistence (deeper focus on fewer categories).
Anger and Fear's Effects on Creativity (Baas et al.)
- Anger, a positive activating mood, enhances cognitive flexibility and creativity.
- Fear, also an activating mood, may decrease creativity by reducing cognitive flexibility and promoting focused, less exploratory thinking.
Factors Influencing Epistemic Motivation (MIP-G)
- Openness to Experience: Higher openness leads to more systematic information processing.
- Need for Cognition: Higher need for cognition corresponds to higher epistemic motivation.
- Need for Structure: Lower need for structure supports epistemic motivation
- Ambiguity Aversion: Lower ambiguity aversion fosters deeper information processing.
Social Motives and Epistemic Motivation (MIP-G)
- Social motives (pro-social vs. pro-self) interact with epistemic motivation to influence group information processing.
- Pro-socially motivated individuals, with high epistemic motivation, lead to better group decisions and increased creativity.
- Pro-self motivations can lead to shallow processing and hinder group creativity.
