“…Finally, our findings are consistent with H3, revealing a correlation between deliberate rumination and depression, psychological resilience and creativity, suggesting that deliberate rumination plays a moderating role in the mediation model. The study results show that deliberate rumination moderates the effects of psychological resilience on the relationship between depression and creativity, which echoes the findings of previous studies ( Rider Mundey et al, 2018 ; Kim and Bae, 2019 ). The implication is that, when individuals are in depression, those who have high levels of deliberate rumination may analyze depression metacognitively, generating powerful self-reflection and perseverance ( Akinola and Mendes, 2008 ; De Dreu et al, 2008 ).…”

Purpose: The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has had a significant impact on people’s lives, has apparently increased the incidence of depression. Although the topic of how depression affects creativity is contested, previous research has revealed a significant relationship between the two. The purpose of this study is to further investigate the relationship and the mechanisms that operate between depression and creativity.Methods: A total of 881 students at an independent college in China completed a questionnaire consisting of the Self-Reported Depression Scale, Runco Ideational Behavior Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale, Deliberate Rumination Scale and demographic information. Among the respondents, 317 (36.0%) were male and 564 (64.0%) were female, all of whom were from the same grade. Correlation analyses were conducted, and then the researchers carried out mediation analysis and developed a moderated mediation model.Results: The results indicated that (a) depression was positively related to creativity (r = 0.085, p < 0.05); (b) psychological resilience mediated the relationship between depression and creativity; specifically, psychological resilience was negatively related to depression (r = −0.462, p < 0.01), which in turn was positively related to creativity (r = 0.198, p < 0.01); and (c) deliberate rumination moderated the relationship between depression and psychological resilience, showing a significant negative correlation with depression (r = 0.138, p < 0.01), psychological resilience (r = 0.078, p < 0.05), and creativity (r = 0.288, p < 0.05); specifically, higher levels of deliberate rumination strengthened the negative correlation between psychological resilience and depression.Conclusion: The results suggest that depression is a positive predictor of creativity and may promote creativity to some extent. Further, individuals with greater psychological resilience are more creative than those with less psychological resilience, as it is a question of whether they can and to what extent they can effectively use depression as an emotional resource. Last, an individual’s level of deliberate rumination moderates the mediating process, especially at the stage where depression is associated with psychological resilience. These findings advance understanding of the mechanisms that operate between depression and creativity.

“…However, in recent years it has been shown that the belief of having the ability to handle our emotional ones facilitates this adaptation process (Schmidt and Andrykowski, 2004;González et al, 2010;Resurrección et al, 2014), what in turn, involves a faster recovery (Markovitz et al, 2015;Burga and Sánchez, 2016;Brandão et al, 2017;García Monzón and Navarro Machado, 2017). In this sense, previous research confirms that the perceived ability of women with breast cancer to moderate the negative affect caused by their disease contributes to improving adaptation and psychological well-being (Guil et al, 2016;Rider Mundey et al, 2019;Zayas et al, 2019). However, it seems to vary with age because of life experience (Fernández-Berrocal et al, 2012).…”

“…Studies focused on emotional intelligence generally address this construct as a protective factor in health, suggesting that the way that breast cancer women regulate their emotions influences their quality of life and enhance disease adaptation (Hermosilla-Ávila and Sanhueza-Alvarado, 2015;Brandão et al, 2016;Amirifard et al, 2017;Baudry et al, 2018). Besides, some studies show how emotional intelligence predicts changes in psychological, social and physical well-being, satisfaction, optimism, social adjustment and the quality of interpersonal relationships, as well as in post-traumatic growth in breast cancer women (Rey et al, 2013;Mahdavi et al, 2015;Ahoiee et al, 2017;Rider Mundey et al, 2019).…”

Breast Cancer and Resilience: The Controversial Role of Perceived Emotional Intelligence

et al. 2020

Cancer is a chronic disease that causes the most deaths in the world, being a public health problem nowadays. Even though breast cancer affects the daily lives of patients, many women become resilient after the disease, decreasing the impact of the diagnosis. Based on a positive psychology approach, the concept of co-vitality arises understood as a set of socio-emotional competencies that enhance psychological adaptation. In this sense, emotional intelligence is one of the main protective factors associated with resilience. However, it is not always as beneficial as it seems, and can lead to collateral effects on psychological adjustment. Given this controversy, this study aims to find the specific processes through which the dimensions of Perceived Emotional Intelligence (PEI) (Emotional Attention, Emotional Clarity, and Mood Repair) can act as a risk or protective factor in the development of resilience. The total sample was 167 women (Age: M = 43.26; SD = 12.43), 46.7% were breast cancer survivors, and 53.3% were healthy controls. The selection of women with breast cancer carries out randomly, recruited through the Oncology Units. The sample completed measures of resilience and PEI, through Resilience Scale (Wagnild and Young, 1993) and TMMS-24 (Salovey et al., 1995). The results showed that breast cancer survivors showed higher age and greater levels of resilience and mood repair than healthy women. The mediation analysis revealed that breast cancer survival and PEI predicted 28% of the variance of resilience. The direct effects showed that emotional clarity and mood repair increased resilience levels. Although breast cancer did not predict resilience directly, it does through mood repair by an indirect process. Besides, the analysis showed that emotional attention played a role in vulnerability, decreasing mood repair, and resilience. These research support theories that point to a possible dark side of PEI, thus, a great level of emotional attention makes dark the positive effect of mood repair and personal growth if a clear perception of emotions does not complement it. These results provide empirical support concerning the need to work complementary each dimension of PEI to avoid unwanted effects on intrapersonal adjustment.

“…What's more, deliberate rumination can lead to a more purposeful cognitive process and metacognition of the stressful event, which aims to solve problems and foreshadows the possibility of PTG (Cann et al, 2011), reducing the damage of the stressful event (Tedeschi and Calhoun, 2004). For example, in a study of PTG following cancer, it was found that enhanced deliberate rumination can facilitate individuals to achieve PTG (Rider Mundey et al, 2018). Studies have found a significant positive correlation between deliberate rumination and PTG (Andrades et al, 2017;Xu et al, 2019).…”

Purpose: This study used a moderated mediation model to test the mediating effect of general self-efficacy on the relationship between post-traumatic growth (PTG) and creativity and the moderating effect of deliberate rumination in the second path of the indirect mediation path during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: A sample of 881 university students from Guangdong Province, China, was surveyed with the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, the Runco Ideational Behavior Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Deliberate Rumination Inventory. SPSS (23 version) and PROCESS (3.3 version) were used for correlation analyses, mediation analysis, and moderated mediation analysis.Results: (1) PTG was positively correlated with creativity, self-efficacy, and deliberate rumination. Creativity was positively correlated with self-efficacy and deliberate rumination. Deliberate rumination was positively correlated with self-efficacy. (2) Self-efficacy mediated the relationship between PTG and creativity. (3) Deliberate rumination moderated the second half of the path of “PTG → self-efficacy → creativity.”Conclusions: PTG affected creativity directly and also indirectly through self-efficacy. In particular, deliberate rumination moderated the relationship between self-efficacy and creativity, such that the association was stronger when the incidence of deliberate rumination was low. These results provide a more comprehensive understanding of the positive link between PTG and creativity.
