Abstract: To investigate how different types of positive emotional experience affect creativity in college students, this study randomly selected 60 college students and collected their behavior data, physiological data, and subjective reports. The study used single factor between-subject design with three levels(emotional experience types: moved, happy, and neutral)and measured college students' performances when they solved experimental problems about scientific invention. The results indicated that positive emotional experience effectively promoted creativity and different types of positive emotional experience have different effect on creativity. Specifically, moved experience and happy experience have a significant effect on creativity compared with neutral emotional experience while moved experience has a better effect than happy experience. Moreover, there was no gender difference in creativity regardless of positive experience types.

摘要: 通过行为数据、生理数据和主观报告“三位一体”的方法,随机抽取60名大学生为被试,采用单因素3水平(情绪体验类型: 感动、愉快、中性)被试间设计,以科学发明创造实验问题为创造力测试材料,探讨了不同类型的积极情绪体验对创造力的影响。结果发现:积极情绪体验能有效促进创造力的发挥,但是不同的积极情绪体验类型效果不同。与中性情绪体验相比,感动体验和愉快体验对创造力都具有显著促进作用,且感动体验效果更好。不同积极情绪体验下男女被试在创造力上并无差异,这表明创造力水平并不存在男女性别差异。
