Jie Ma; Haoran Zhang; Zhaohui Tong – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Past research holds that curiosity motivates creativity via two primary mechanisms--exploration and absorption. We propose that vitality is a more fundamental mechanism integrating them. According to the self-determination theory, curiosity fuels vitality as it aligns with the natural inclination toward autonomy, competence, and relatedness. It is…

Despite the increasing need for creativity in rapidly evolving markets and work environments, not all employees are able to engage in this crucial behavior at work.

Leonidas A. Zampetakis – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2024
In the last decade, research on the connection between curiosity and creativity has surged revealing a positive correlation.

Creative behaviors are increasingly impacted by digital technologies, but little is known about the way digital technologies support everyday creativity and what factors predict their creative use.

Tin L. Nguyen; Rohan Prabhu – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Creative action is idiosyncratic. Not only do "creators" differ in their approaches to creative work, but "creative endeavors" differ in complexity, scale, and level of difficulty, meaning that the self-regulation strategies people use to manage themselves and their ideas from creative ideation to implementation may differ.…

The present study examines two self-regulation traits, grit and curiosity, in predicting creative achievement in an adult sample (N = 522). Grit has been related to achievement in various domains, and although prior empirical work failed to find associations with everyday creative activities in adolescent and young adult samples, theoretically it…

Soma Chaudhuri; Joydeep Bhattacharya – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Understanding how creativity is judged in brief, structured texts is essential for exploring aesthetic and emotional engagement in minimalist art forms. Haiku and Senryu, two concise poetic genres, provide a unique lens to investigate how creativity is perceived under constraints of brevity. This study examines how readers' subjective experiences…

Soma Chaudhuri; Alan Pickering; Joydeep Bhattacharya – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
The comprehension and appreciation of poetry are inherently subjective, involving both creativity and aesthetic appeal. However, do these assessments of aesthetics and creativity rely on identical criteria, or do they vary depending on underlying factors? We addressed this question in this study. Participants (N = 96) evaluated 25 English poems…

Corinna M. Perchtold-Stefan; Eniko Szabo; Christian Rominger; Andreas Fink; Laura Opris; Nora Pataky – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2024
Criminals allegedly use effective novelty to intentionally exploit and harm others (creative fraud, theft, and murder). However, empirical evidence that criminals possess higher malevolent creativity than individuals without criminal backgrounds is lacking. We compared a male sample of prisoners in a maximum-security penitentiary (n = 140), police…

The present paper questions the content validity of the eight creativity-related self-report scales available in PISA 2022's context questionnaire and provides a set of considerations for researchers interested in using these indexes. Specifically, we point out some threats to the content validity of these scales (e.g., "creative thinking…

Multisensory environments rich in modal integration provide cues from various sensory modalities including visually, auditorily, and tactilely. Such modal integration plays a crucial role in cognitive processing, specifically in fostering creativity. Numerous studies highlight that emotional coherence through cross-modal affective integration…
