“…This enables a new and fresh perspective on creativity research by focusing on the moment-to-moment fluctuations of creative abilities. Future studies could advance this approach by adding further psychological or contextual variables such as affect, wellbeing, and attention as well as environmental surroundings, participant's physical activity, or neurophysiological indicators (e.g., ECG, EEG; Weizenbaum et al, 2020), which might allow psychophysiological triggering and robust predictions of creative states (Agnoli et al, 2020;Schwerdtfeger and Rominger, 2021;Rominger et al, in pressc). A more complex assessment of psychological and psychophysiological states in combination with the ABC could gain further highly relevant information on how, when, and why people show higher creative abilities.…”

Psychometrically sound instruments that assess temporal dynamics of creative abilities are limited. The Ambulatory Battery of Creativity (ABC) is designed to assess creative ideation performance multiple times in everyday life and was proven to capture the intra-individual dynamic of creative abilities reliably and validly. The present ambulatory study aimed to replicate and extend the psychometric evidence of the novel ABC. Sixty-nine participants worked on the ABC during a 5-day ambulatory assessment protocol. Each day, participants completed six randomly presented items of the verbal and the figural ABC. Matching previous psychometric analyses, the results indicated good between-person (≥0.80) and good within-person (≥0.72) reliability. Furthermore, evidence for between-person and within-person validity of the ABC was obtained. Performance in the verbal and the figural ABC were interrelated and correlated with an independent measure of creative potential. The verbal ABC was further associated with openness, self-reported creative behavior, creative activities, and creative achievements, thus providing additional evidence of construct validity, especially for the verbal ABC. Finally, the verbal and the figural ABC yielded convincing within-person validity: Longer response times and higher subjective originality ratings were associated with more original ideas. This replication and extension of the ABC’s psychometric properties indicates that it enables a reliable and valid assessment of moment-to-moment fluctuations of creative ideation abilities in everyday life, which may facilitate the investigation of exciting new research questions related to dynamic aspects of creative ability.

“…This would allow some control over the demands of the stressful events instigated. Alternatively, real-time analysis of HRV data might allow stressful events in daily life to be detected through individually meaningful decreases of vmHRV controlled for physical activity with algorithms such as Schwerdtfeger and Rominger ( 2021 ) have used. Adapting such algorithms could maybe in the future allow to calculate vmHRV recovery time by incorporating the influence of physical activity instead of retrospectively controlling for it.…”

Physiological stress reactivity and recovery: Some laboratory results transfer to daily life

Stress is a prevalent theme in our daily lives and is related to numerous negative health outcomes. Laboratory research has studied the physiological stress response extensively with objective measures such as vagally-mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV). Recently, the vagal tank theory emerged as a promising approach to predicting adaptive vmHRV levels around stressful events. This study aimed to investigate whether the predictions of the vagal tank theory about vmHRV during stress reactivity and recovery translate into naturalistic stressful events in daily life. Sixty-seven students wore an EcgMove 4 sensor for 4 days to measure vmHRV. Through a combination of device-based and self-report assessment, vmHRV data were segmented into before, during, and after stressful events. VmHRV segments were analyzed with multilevel modeling, accounting for physiological and psychological covariates. VmHRV before stressful events predicted more adaptive vmHRV during the event but not vmHRV recovery afterwards. The results therefore partially support the vagal tank theory's predictions with data from daily life and allow recommendations for future studies of real-world stress reactivity and recovery. The value of intraindividual variations in vmHRV as predictors of adaptive stress response is underscored by these findings and could inform future interventions that seek to increase momentary vmHRV.

“…First, reliability analyses were calculated on the between- (RKR) and the within-person (RC) level for both tasks separately using GTA (Brennan, 2001; Cronbach, 1972; for review see, Shrout & Lane, 2012; for application in EMA context see Calamia, 2019; Schwerdtfeger & Dick, 2019; Schwerdtfeger & Gerteis, 2014; Schwerdtfeger & Rominger, 2021; and in a creativity context see, Silvia, 2008; Silvia et al, 2008). Following Nezlek (2017), we differentiated between Level 1, which were the four raters, Level 2, which were the prompts, and the person level (Level 3).…”

“…Shrout and Lane (2012) delivered a detailed guidance on how to decompose the variance in everyday life data, which is due to person, item, situation, and their respective interactions. Based on the generalizability theory (Brennan, 2001; Cronbach, 1972; for a review see, Shrout & Lane, 2012), this differentiation of variance proportions allows to calculate the within- and between-person reliability estimates (see, e.g., Schwerdtfeger & Dick, 2019; Schwerdtfeger & Rominger, 2021, for applications). Given that EMA assessment of divergent thinking allows to reliably assess creative ideation performance, it could contribute to the ecological validity of creativity research by replicating findings from well-controlled settings in natural environments (Reis, 2012).…”

Creative ideation constitutes an important human skill to develop innovative solutions in science and technology and to overcome daily challenges. Although creative ideation takes place in everyday life situations, the moment-to-moment dynamics of creative ideation performance has not been intensively investigated so far. Fortunately, well-developed methods exist to assess creative ideation performance in controlled settings that can be adopted for assessments in real-life contexts. In the present field-study, a novel Ambulatory Battery of Creativity (ABC) was applied to a sample of 77 participants for 5 days. Each day, participants had to complete 12 randomly presented items of two divergent thinking taskshalf in the verbal and half in the figural domain. Psychometric analyses indicated good between-person ($.84) and within-person ($.70) reliability. Furthermore, between-person and within-person validity evidence of the ABC was obtained. This study constitutes a first attempt to develop a reliable and valid ABC to measure both individual differences and moment-to-moment fluctuations of creative ideation performance in everyday life.
