“…The contemporary group creativity theories focus on the cognitive, social, and motivational factors that influence group performance on creativity. High-level group creativity requires an effective interactive process (Alper et al, 2007), optimal group composition (Zhang et al, 2016), positive group experience, and convenient backgrounds that support innovation and psychological security.…”

This study focused on the social factors and cognitive processes that influence collaborative idea generation, using the research paradigm of group idea generation, evaluation apprehension, and incubation. Specifically, it aimed to explore the impact of exposure to others’ ideas, evaluation apprehension, and incubation intervals on collaborative idea generation through three experiments. The results showed that in the process of generating ideas in a group, exposure to others’ ideas and evaluation apprehension can lead to productivity deficits in the number and categories of ideas, without affecting the novelty of ideas. Further, exposure to others’ ideas and evaluation apprehension had an interaction effect on the number of ideas. As compared with the situation without exposure to others’ idea, in that with exposure to others’ idea, evaluation apprehension had a weaker impact on the productivity of the number of ideas. Furthermore, incubation intervals were beneficial in reducing the negative effect of exposure to others’ ideas and in improving collaborative idea generation productivity.

“…In other words, compared with psychological representations of proximal temporal distance, those of distant temporal distance weakens the weight of emotional awareness in cognitive processing (Davis et al, 2011). This allows individuals in distant temporal distance to experience less emotional interference in thinking processes, thus promoting the generation of creative ideas (Zhang et al, 2016). Third, due to individuals' knowing less about the future events, their tolerance of uncertainty in predicting future events is higher than that in predicting recent events (Onay et al, 2013).…”

The present study examined the effect of distant temporal distance on creative thinking and the underlying motivation mechanism. We tested our hypotheses in four studies. In Studies 1-4, participants in the distant temporal distance opposed to the proximal temporal distance performed better on a series of creative thinking tasks: the Verbal Divergent Thinking Test (Study 1), the Chinese Remote Associates Test (Study 2), the Toy Design Task (Study 3) and the Ad Evaluation Task (Study 4). Moreover, Studies 2 and 3 found that promotion motivation mediated the beneficial effect of distant temporal distance on the performance of the two creative thinking tasks. In conclusion, distant temporal distance facilitated creative thinking, and promotion motivation mediated this beneficial effect.

“…The category list was generated from each set of answers via the categorizing of responses which have common characteristics (e.g., “cake” and “noodle” were classified as “food”, “hook” and “bench” were classified as “furniture”, “bullet” and “arrow” were classified as “weapon”, etc.). Flexibility score was computed by counting the number of different categories used in one participant’s responses [ 3 , 11 , 56 , 57 ]. Two trained raters (both were psychology graduate students from Shandong Normal University) were engaged to score all those ideas.…”

“…Two trained raters (both were psychology graduate students from Shandong Normal University) were engaged to score all those ideas. The Chinese version of this measure was a widely used noninvasive measure and demonstrated adequate reliability and validity [ 3 , 11 , 20 , 56 , 57 ]. The inter-rater reliabilities for all the three scores in the present study were higher than .95; therefore, the final scores were obtained by averaging scores from the two raters.…”

“…Recent advances in molecular genetic studies have permitted direct exploring the underlying mechanism of the G × E interaction via identifying specific genes or locus associated with creativity. Empirical research showed a genetic variant in the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) , rs1799732 polymorphisms, moderated the relation between authoritarian parenting and creativity [ 3 ]. Thus, we postulated in this line that the relation between paternal indifference & neglect in early life and creativity in youth may be moderated by genetic variants.…”

For further understanding the joint contribution of environment, heredity and gender to creativity, the present research examined the prospective impact of paternal indifference & neglect in early life, TPH1 rs623580, offspring gender, and the interaction effects thereof on creativity in five hundred and thirty-nine unrelated healthy Chinese undergraduate students. Paternal indifference & neglect in early life was assessed on the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) and creativity on the Runco Creativity Assessment Battery (rCAB). Two primary findings emerged. Firstly, significant paternal indifference & neglect × TPH1 genotype interaction effects were identified in predicting all three dimensions of creativity (fluency, originality, and flexibility). Paternal indifference & neglect in early life negatively predicted fluency, originality, and flexibility when individuals carry A allele of TPH1 (rs623580). Secondly, there was a significant interaction effect of TPH1 genotype by offspring gender on flexibility. Only in males, individuals who carry A allele were linked with lower level of flexibility compared to TT homozygote individuals. No significant three-way interaction was found. In conclusion, the current findings provided the first preliminary evidence for the moderation effect of TPH1 on the relationship between parenting and creativity, and TPH1 - offspring gender interaction on creativity; future studies are needed to validate these findings.
