Anger and Creativity

Anger enhances cognitive flexibility and boosts creativity.

Fear and Cognitive Flexibility

Fear reduces cognitive flexibility and hinders creativity by encouraging focused thinking.

Factors Influencing Epistemic Motivation

Three factors are Openness to Experience, Need for Cognition, and low Need for Structure.

Openness to Experience

High openness leads to systematic information processing, enhancing epistemic motivation.

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.
