A Dynamic Perspective on Affect and Creativity
研究发现，创造力受积极和消极情感动态交互的影响：经历消极情感后，消极情感下降、积极情感上升（即情感转变）能提升创造力。通过经验取样和实验验证，对组织管理有实践启示。
We argue that creativity is influenced by the dynamic interplay of positive and negative affect: High creativity results if a person experiences an episode of negative affect that is followed by a decrease in negative affect and an increase in positive affect, a process referred to as an “affective shift.” An experience-sampling study with 102 full-time employees provided support for the hypotheses. An experimental study with 80 students underlined the proposed causal effect of an affective shift on creativity. We discuss practical implications for facilitating creativity in organizations.
