摘要/Abstract

摘要： 基于注意控制理论和创造性过程理论, 本研究探索了创造焦虑和日常创造力(创造活动; 创造成就)的关系, 并考察了认知灵活性(可选择性; 可控性)和创造性参与过程(问题识别; 信息搜索与编码; 观点产生)在创造焦虑和日常创造力之间的链式中介作用。本研究以方便取样法调查了410名被试, 通过AMOS软件进行路径分析, 结果表明: 首先, 创造焦虑既与创造活动负相关, 也与创造成就负相关; 其次, 在创造焦虑和创造活动之间, 三条链式中介路径显著: 可选择性与问题识别, 可选择性与观点产生, 可控性与问题识别; 最后, 在创造焦虑和创造成就之间, 另三条链式中介路径显著: 可选择性与信息搜索和编码, 可选择性与观点产生, 可控性与信息搜索和编码。本研究有助于揭示创造焦虑影响创造活动和成就的融合与分离机制, 为探索降低创造焦虑负性影响的手段提供了启示。

Abstract: Based on the Attentional Control Theory (ACT) and the Creative Process Theory (CPT), this study explored the relationship between creativity anxiety and real-life creativity (creative activities, CAct; creative achievements, CAch) and examined the potential chain mediating roles of cognitive flexibility (alternatives, AS; control, CS) and creative process engagement (problem identification, PI; information searching and encoding, ISE; idea generation, IG) between them. Four hundred and ten college students (M = 20.320, SD = 0.694) were recruited randomly. The results were as follows: (1) Creativity anxiety negatively predicted both creative activity (CAct) and creative achievement (CAch); (2) Creativity anxiety associates with creative activity (CAct) through the chain mediating effect of three paths (CA→AS→PI→CAct; CA→AS→IG→CAct; CA→CS→PI→CAct); (3) Creativity anxiety associates with creative achievement (CAch) through the chain mediating effect of another three paths (CA→AS→ISE→CAch; CA→AS→IG→CAch; CA→CS→ISE→CAch). This study is beneficial to understanding the underlying mechanism between creativity anxiety and real-life creativity and expanding the application scope of ACT and CPT. More importantly, these findings for intervening adverse effects of creativity anxiety on creative performance provide an adequate basis.
