Abstract: The present study aimed to explore the impact of compatibility and incompatibility between embodied implicit emotions and explicit emotions on creative thinking. In the experiment, the emotional video priming paradigm and facial expression manipulation were used to induce positive or negative explicit emotions and embodied implicit emotions. Then the participants were asked to complete the alternative use tasks (AUT) and Chinese character riddles in the creative thinking test. The results showed that under positive emotion conditions, the AUT fluency score in the emotionally compatible group was significantly higher than that in the emotionally incompatible group, whereas under negative emotion conditions, the AUT originality and Chinese character riddles scores in the emotionally compatible group were significantly higher than the emotionally incompatible group. The AUT flexibility score was not significantly different in both emotional conditions. These findings indicate that the compatibility of the embodied implicit emotions and the explicit emotions contributes to creative thinking. Moreover, the emotional compatibility in positive and negative emotion conditions affects different components of creative thinking.

Key words: embodied emotion, explicit emotion, emotional compatibility, creative thinking

摘要: 为探讨具身内隐情绪和外显情绪之间的相容性和不相容性对创造性思维的影响,实验采用情绪视频启动范式诱发被试的积极情绪或消极情绪,同时采用面部表情操纵技术诱导其具身积极情绪或具身消极情绪,然后要求被试完成创造性思维测验中的替代使用任务(AUT)与顿悟字谜测验。结果发现:在积极情绪下,情绪相容组的AUT流畅性得分显著高于情绪不相容组;而在消极情绪下,情绪相容组的AUT原创性得分与顿悟字谜得分显著高于情绪不相容组;灵活性在两种情绪条件下的差异均不显著。结果表明,面部表情和外显情绪的相容性有利于创造性思维的表现,积极情绪和消极情绪下的情绪相容性分别影响着创造性思维的不同成分。
