Curiosity as a Key Pathway Linking Future Time Perspective to Earlier Financial Preparation Timing
As Taiwan faces rapid population aging and increasing longevity, individuals are expected to assume greater responsibility for their own financial security in later life. Future Time Perspective (FTP) is a well-established cognitive-motivational construct associated with long-term planning, while curiosity has been linked to adaptive functioning and sustained cognitive engagement across the lifespan. However, its role in shaping perceived timing …
Curiosity in Later Life
Curiosity supports adaptive cognitive and psychological functioning across the lifespan, yet prior research suggests that some dimensions of curiosity decline with age, and little is known about the psychosocial and lifestyle factors that are associated with higher curiosity in later life. This study investigated age-related differences in joyous exploration (JE) and identified key correlates of high JE among older adults. Data were drawn from th…
Displaying cultural heritage in innovative designs
Yao embroidery from Liannan Yao Autonomous County, Guangdong Province, represents a crucial element of China’s intangible cultural heritage, embodying both artistic expression and cultural identity. This study identified and explored innovative designs for culturally significant traditional Yao patterns. Employing literature review, case studies and field research, Yao clothing patterns from northern Guangdong were collected, vectorized and digit…
Enhancing Team Creativity Through Paradoxical Frames
Using multilevel structural equation modeling (ML‐SEM), this study examines how paradoxical frames enhance team creativity through the mediating roles of sense of conflict and integrative complexity. Although paradoxical frames are known to foster cognitive flexibility at the individual level, their impact on team creativity remains underexplored. We conducted a two‐week design‐thinking exercise with 235 undergraduate students (59 teams) assigned…
Teaching Graphic Design for undergraduate students in Vietnam
Introduction The present study aims to examine the effects of autonomy policies implemented after 2014 on the undergraduate education of Graphic Design in Vietnam. The focus is on how these policies have influenced the transition of curricular content from traditional print-based principles to modern digital design methodologies. Methods This study employs a targeted analysis of specialized knowledge courses within Graphic Design programs, tracin…
Contact With Older Adults Is Related to Positive Age Stereotypes and Self-Views of Aging
Having interactions with other older adults may help favorably shape how younger adults and particularly older adults view their own aging, especially in relation to friends and leisure activities. From the perspective of older adults, having regular contacts with other older adults may increase the heterogeneity of exposure to different aging experiences, thus encouraging the formation of more differentiated stereotypes of older people and of th…
The Fourth Age in Prospect
The bleak but formidable reputation of the fourth age impinges on those living in the third. The consonant expression of fourth-age features among older adults on 3 continents supports Gilleard and Higgs's claim that the fourth-age imaginary "contains a universal ontological quality" owing to human corporeality and the senescence to which it is subject. Fourth-age studies that document the lived experience of frailty and dependence have the poten…
Age-Related Attributions of Experienced Changes in Life
Our findings help to better understand what determines age-related attributions of life changes and highlight the negative consequences of attributing them to aging. Age-related attributions of change are a major factor that worsens the subjective aging experience. Methodologically, our study emphasizes the necessity to separately assess changes and their attributions to age
How social networks facilitate collective responses to organizational paradoxes
When organizations face paradoxical tensions, such as when they must simultaneously meet scientific and commercial objectives, individuals within the organization also experience tensions. How individuals’ responses to these tensions inform the collective organizational response remains a theoretical and empirical challenge. We address this challenge by introducing a social network perspective. In a two-stage mixed-method study of a research inst…
Middle ground approach to paradox
Thriving in increasingly complex and ambiguous environments requires creativity and the capability to reconcile conflicting demands. Recent evidence with Western samples has suggested that paradoxical frames, or mental templates that encourage individuals to recognize and embrace contradictions, could produce creative benefits. We extended the timely, but understudied, topic by studying the nuances of for whom and why creative advantages of parad…
Culture, Creativity, and Innovation
This special issue enriches the study of creativity and innovation as a cultural and social process. Authors of nine articles jointly contribute to a nuanced and systematical inquiry into the cultural perspective of creativity. Their topics of investigation include lay conceptions of creativity in different cultures, different natures and manifestations of creativity and innovation, the influence of cultural values, norms, and multiculturalism on…
Situational Salience of Norms Moderates Cultural Differences in the Originality and Usefulness of Creative Ideas Generated or Selected by Teams
This study examines how culture affects the normative processes implicated in cultural differences in creative behaviors. Western norms prioritize originality and Eastern norms usefulness. In a cross-cultural study, we found significant performance differences in terms of originality and usefulness between Americans and Taiwanese only when these norms were salient, as when the task required individuals to select ideas (vs. generate new ideas) or …
The role of instrumental emotion regulation in the emotions–creativity link
Based on the instrumental account of emotion regulation (Tamir, 2005), the current research seeks to offer a novel perspective to the emotions-creativity debate by investigating the instrumental value of trait-consistent emotions in creativity. We hypothesize that emotions such as worry (vs. happy) are trait-consistent experiences for individuals higher on trait neuroticism and experiencing these emotions can facilitate performance in a creativit…
Culturally Motivated Challenges to Innovations in Integrative Research
Integrative research can lead to frame‐breaking innovations; it can also lead to disruptive conflicts between research team members. In the present contribution, we propose a cultural perspective to integrative research, treating the knowledge tradition of a discipline or profession as a culture. We discuss how socialization into a disciplinary culture can reinforce intellectual centrism. We further propose that awareness of cultural differences …
