Creativity Under Stress at Work
Work exposes people to different kinds of stressors and provides different resources. Building on the job demands-resources theory (JD-R), the current study examined intrapersonal patterns of job stressors (challenge and hindrance demands) and personal and job resources (i.e. passion and voice) and their relationship with creativity outcomes (creative self-efficacy and creative behavior) in a sample of hospital workers (N = 5,066). Latent profile…
Individualism and Collectivism as Predictors of Creative Potentials and Real-Life Creativity in China and US
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationships between culture and creativity from the perspective of individualism and collectivism (I/C). Specifically, we compared cultural differences in I/C as well as creativity between two major economies, namely China and the US. We also examined how specific dimensions of I/C are associated with indices of creativity in these two cultural contexts. Four hundred and thirty-four Chinese…
Emotion-specificity in emotion regulation
Adolescents' Perceived Opportunities for Creative Thinking, Creative Thinking Competency Belief and Career Interest in STEM
Gender differences in creative thinking competency, career interest, and situated expectancy‐value beliefs in STEM, have been widely studied separately. This study brings these lines of research together by examining gender differences in the association between adolescents' perceived opportunities for creative thinking, creative thinking competency belief, and career interest in STEM, as well as the mediating role of STEM situated expectancy‐val…
Effects of an app-based brief gratitude practice on positive and negative daily affect during the Covid-19 pandemic
Curious and Persistent, but not Consistent
The present study examines two self‐regulation traits, grit and curiosity, in predicting creative achievement in an adult sample ( N = 522). Grit has been related to achievement in various domains, and although prior empirical work failed to find associations with everyday creative activities in adolescent and young adult samples, theoretically it is relevant to long‐term creative achievement (which requires persistence). Curiosity supports creat…
How students' perceptions of older siblings' mindsets relate to their math motivation, behavior, and emotion
Creative Potential and Creative Self‐Belief
Cross‐cultural studies on creativity, mainly focusing on the creative potential aspect (e.g., divergent thinking), are emerging in recent years. However, the creative self‐belief (e.g., creative self‐efficacy) aspect of creativity is under‐researched cross‐culturally. Moreover, studies that address the measurement invariance of creativity assessments to ensure the measures' sound psychometric properties cross‐culturally are rare. Thus, we aimed t…
How constructive is that feedback? Associations with undergraduates’ future time perspectives moderated by student characteristics’
Family context of mindset matters
Mindsets are defined as people’s beliefs about the nature of intelligence, and previous research has found effects of students’ mindsets on their academic outcomes. In the present study, we bring together two recent lines of mindset research: research that has demonstrated that the mindset contexts that surround students matter above and beyond students’ own mindsets; and research that has demonstrated the importance of parents’ mindsets on stude…
Divergent Thinking and Evaluative Skill
Evaluative skill, the ability to accurately assess ideas in terms of originality or creativity, is a critical component of creativity. It involves discarding bad ideas and discerning ideas that are worthwhile to pursue. In light of the growing research on the association between individuals’ evaluative skill and divergent thinking (DT), a research synthesis is needed to clarify discrepant results. Therefore, we examined the relationship between D…
Chinese only children and loneliness
345 and 210, respectively). Results from Studies 2 and 3 consistently showed that, contrary to the stereotype, Chinese only children reported lower levels of loneliness than their counterparts with siblings. Additionally, open-ended responses from the adolescent participants in Study 3 provided hints about the situations that provoke their loneliness. The results are explained in terms of the two theoretical approaches to loneliness. In sum, our …
