  • Are Adolescents with Higher Openness More Creative Under Stress? The Mediating Role of Stress Perception and Cognitive Flexibility

    Open AccessYifan Wang, Jialing Liu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Intelligence2026

    Stress is a major risk factor for creativity development in adolescents. This study explored the protective effect of openness on creative tendency under stress and revealed the underlying mechanisms from the perspectives of stress perception and cognitive flexibility. A total of 1489 junior high school students (Mage = 13.65 years, SD = 0.74) participated in the study. The results showed that stress perception and cognitive flexibility sequentia…

  • The Influence of AI on Critical Thinking and Creativity in L2 Learning Contexts

    Open AccessYilong Yang, Shuyi Zhang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Intelligence2026

    The expanding role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education raises important questions about how AI-supported learning may foster higher-order thinking and creative talent development. Guided by social cognitive theory, the current research examined how AI self-efficacy predicts creativity among second language (L2) learners through the mediating roles of AI literacy and critical thinking disposition. Two substudies were conducted. Study 1 (N…

  • Mechanisms linking epistemic curiosity and learning performance

    Open AccessMerbiya Emin, Yang Liu et al.ARTICLELearning and Instruction2026

    Background Epistemic curiosity (EC) positively predicts mind wandering (MW) and learning performance; however, MW negatively impacts learning performance. Clarifying MW's role in EC's impact on learning performance is essential. Aim This study examined how distinct MW dimensions shaped the EC-learning performance relationship at trait and state levels, and explored whether autonomous choice enhanced EC and reduced MW occurrence. Samples Participa…

  • Differential predictions of various types of mind-wandering on creative thinking and the underlying neural mechanisms

    Y W Li, Yadan Li et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica Sinica2026

    摘要: 心智游移(mind-wandering, MW)与创造性思维的关系复杂。然而, 以往研究仅将心智游移视为单一结构进行探讨, 忽视了其异质性, 导致研究结论存在分歧。本研究采用功能性近红外光谱脑成像技术(functional near-infrared spectroscopy, fNIRS), 通过两个实验, 分别从特质和状态层面探讨不同类型的心智游移对创造性思维的预测作用及其神经机制。结果发现, 在静息态下, 积极-建设型心智游移(positive-constructive daydreaming, PCD)分别在双侧颞上回之间的功能连接对创造性观点产生的正向预测、额极与左颞中回之间的功能连接对创造性观点产生的负向预测、左背外侧前额叶与右额下回之间的功能连接对创造性观点评价的正向预测中发挥了中介作用(实验1)。在任务态下, 相比于有意的心智游移(deliberate MW), 任务相关的心智游移(task-related MW)对创造性思维的预测权重更大, 且能够负向预测创造性…

  • Linking Creativity Anxiety to Two Creative Cognitive Styles Through Creative Self-Efficacy and Novelty Seeking

    Shuoqi Xiang, Yadan Li et al.ARTICLECreativity Research Journal2025

    While creativity anxiety has been found to have negative relationships with various creative outcomes, whether creativity anxiety would also negatively influence creative cognitive styles (i.e. idea generation; idea selection) and the mechanisms underlying these impacts are still unknown. Based on the Self-Efficacy Theory (SET) and the Dual Pathway to Creativity Model (DPCM), we designed cross-sectional and cross-lagged models to examine the pote…

  • The impact of L2 motivation on bilingual creativity

    Open AccessYilong Yang, Yadan LiARTICLEBMC Psychology2025

    Previous studies have shown that bilingualism can offer a cognitive advantage in creativity, yet the mechanisms underlying this effect remain unclear. The present study aims to investigate the influence of L2 motivation, language proficiency, and reflection on creativity among bilinguals, examining how these factors may contribute directly and indirectly to creative performance. Two sub-studies were conducted. In Study 1, 54 bilingual participant…

  • Active procrastination incubates more creative thinking

    Huizhi Bai, Xinyi Li et al.ARTICLECreativity Research Journal2024

    Many studies have suggested that procrastination can result in negative effects, such as anxiety and decline in academic performance; however, procrastination can be either active or passive. This study explored the serial mediation effect of personal mastery and creative self- concept in the correlation between active procrastination and creative thinking. A sample of 536 participants was asked to complete a series of questionnaires. The results…

  • The influence of varying positive affect in approach-motivation intensity on creative idea generation and creative idea evaluation

    Xuewei Wang, X Christine Wang et al.ARTICLEThinking & Reasoning2023

    The aim of this study was to explain previous inconsistent results regarding the effects of positive affect on creative cognition based on the motivational dimensional model of affect theory and provide the underlying neural correlates of the effects of different approach-motivation intensities of positive affect on creative processes (creative idea generation and creative idea evaluation) using the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) t…

  • Accelerating Creativity

    Yangping Li, Roger E Beaty et al.ARTICLECreativity Research Journal2023

    Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been shown to enhance divergent and convergent creative thinking. Yet, how stimulation impacts creative performance over time, and what cognitive mechanisms underlie any such enhancement, remain largely unanswered questions. In the present research, we aimed to (1) verify the impact of DLPFC tDCS on both convergent and divergent thinking, and furthe…

  • Automated Creativity Prediction Using Natural Language Processing and Resting-State Functional Connectivity

    Cong Xie, Simone A Luchini et al.ARTICLECreativity Research Journal2022

    Evidence from fMRI research indicates that individual creative thinking ability – defined as performance on divergent thinking tasks, subjectively assessed by human raters – can be predicted based on the strength of functional connectivity (FC) between the brain’s default mode network (DMN) and frontoparietal control network (FPCN). Here, we sought to replicate and extend these findings in two ways: 1) using a natural language processing method t…

  • The influence of resilience on social creativity

    Open AccessYadan Li, Chunyu Liu et al.ARTICLEPsychology in the Schools2022

    Though previous research has established a strong link between resilience and cognitive creativity, few studies have extended this association to social creativity. The underlying mechanisms of the influence of resilience on social creativity remain unknown. Therefore, the current study introduced sense of humor and positive mood to explore the influence of resilience on social creativity. We established a chain mediation model with data from 186…

  • Addiction-Prone Personality and Creative Cognitive Styles

    Open AccessYadan Li, Lingling Zhang et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2022

    This study attempted to examine the mechanism of the impact of Addiction-Prone Personality (APP) on creative cognitive styles (idea generation, idea selection), especially to explore the mediating role of novelty seeking and the moderating role of depression tendency on the relationship between APP and creative cognitive styles. College students ( N = 576, 79% female) participated in and completed measures of APP, idea generation and selection, n…

  • Role of Avoidance-Motivation Intensity in Creative Thinking

    Xuewei Wang, X Christine Wang et al.ARTICLECreativity Research Journal2021

    Dynamic, momentary affective states have significant effects on creativity; however, how negative affect modulates the neurocognitive processes involved in creativity is still unclear. This study investigated the neural mechanisms of creative thinking under varying avoidance-motivation intensity. Sixty participants (17 men and 43 women; age range = 18–25 years; mean = 21.22 years, SD = 1.35) randomly assigned to three groups (high-avoidance-motiv…

  • Competition and Emotion Impact on Effect of Prototype Elicitation during Insight Problem Solving

    Yadan Li, Ya-Dan LI et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica Sinica2013

    摘要: 以汉字字谜为材料, 采用“原型学习-问题测试”范式, 考察不同竞争水平(高、中、低竞争强度和无竞争)情境下诱发的情绪效价(积极、中性和消极)对顿悟中的原型启发的影响。结果发现:1)竞争水平对字谜问题解决中的原型启发有显著影响, 低强度竞争水平最有利于靶字谜问题的解决, 中等强度和高强度下效果次之, 无竞争条件下效果最差; 2)诱发情绪对靶字谜问题解决的原型启发也有显著影响, 消极情绪和中性情绪下比积极情绪下靶字谜的正确率更高; 3)有无竞争与情绪效价之间的交互作用显著, 体现了竞争和情绪这两种动力相关因素在原型启发中的动力作用不是独立的
