Baptiste Van Eeckhout; Nicolas Michinov; Karine Le Rudulier – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
For several decades, brainstorming in groups and its variants have been widely examined in research as a technique to produce ideas. The way to stimulate elaboration by linking ideas to those previously given by others during a brainstorming session is a challenge for researchers and practitioners aiming to go beyond idea generation. Despite…

Ronald Mtenga; Mathias Bode; Radwa Khalil – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Creative thinking stems from the cognitive process that fosters the creation of new ideas and problem-solving solutions. Artificial intelligence systems and neural network models can reduce the intricacy of understanding creative cognition. For instance, the generation of ideas could be symbolized as patterns of binary code in which clusters of…

Hunter, Samuel T.; Blocker, Lily D.; Gutworth, Melissa B.; Allen, Julian – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2023
Although organizations say new ideas are desirable, investing in original products rather than the "tried and true" can be unsettling for decision-makers. This discomfort may be due, in part, to uncertainty surrounding whether a new idea will prove successful. As such, the originality of a creative idea can be paradoxically viewed both…

Kailiang Chen; Juanjuan Chen; Yuwei Sun; Guorui Yan – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Understanding and supporting pre-service teachers' creativity in collaborative instructional design has gained increasing attention. To design novel and effective learning experiences or activities for students, they need to build empathy with students, that is, understanding students' learning needs. This study aimed to (1) explore the patterns…

Kelsey Medeiros; David H. Cropley; Rebecca L. Marrone; Roni Reiter-Palmon – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Much has been made of the apparent capacity for creativity of generative AI. However, as research expands the knowledge base regarding the capabilities and performance of this technology, the prevailing view is shifting away from "AI is creative" and towards a more balanced model of Human-AI co-creativity. Nevertheless, even this…

Hansika Kapoor; Sarah Rezaei; Hreem Mahadeshwar; James C. Kaufman – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Anxiety-driven counterfactual thinking can be a slippery slope. Building on the premise that both positive and negative emotions can impact creativity, the present study examines how trait anxiety, optimism, and other mental health factors like therapy experience shape outputs in divergent thinking (DT) tasks. Using an online sample (N = 647), the…

Baruah, Jonali; Paulus, Paul B.; Kohn, Nicholas W. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2021
A major challenge in the process of innovation is to generate quality products that are original as well as feasible, because these features are associated with contradictory cognitive thought processes. This study investigated whether opportunities to engage in an idea generation, selection, and subsequent refinement with a simultaneous focus on…

Hundeling, Maike; Auerswald, Max; Rosing, Kathrin – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2021
In an experimental study, we explored the relationships between team regulatory focus and temporal patterns of innovative activities as well as innovative performance. We manipulated regulatory focus in 44 student teams and assessed idea generation and implementation activities over time based on video data. External raters assessed innovative…

Xiaochen Liu; Gregory T. Boldt; Donald J. Leu; James C. Kaufman – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Group diversity is an active topic in research as studies examine how differences in background, culture, job position, gender, and ethnicity can all impact group creativity. One relatively overlooked component is how diversity in academic knowledge affects group and individual creativity. In this study, 56 graduate students from a research…

Frith, Emily; Ponce, Pamela; Loprinzi, Paul D. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2021
The primary objective of this study was to contribute to the growing research discipline investigating the effects of physical exercise on divergent thinking creativity performance. Thirty-two students participated in this two-visit, within-subject intervention. Individuals consented to participate in two randomized, and counterbalanced,…

Xinyao Xiao; Jian Wang; Yanyan Shu; Junying Tan – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2024
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…

Thu Anh Mai; Alwin de Rooij – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2023
Human creativity and ingenuity partly depend on divergent thinking -- the ability to generate many varied, original, and elaborate responses. Prior research has found ample evidence of an effect of cognitive factors, including the organization of semantic networks and associative ability, on divergent thinking. Less is known, however, about how…

Lai, Yu-Chun; Peng, Shu-Ling; Huang, Po-Sheng; Chen, Hsueh-Chih – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2021
This study aims to examine the impact of affective states and affective shifts on ideation and evaluation of creativity. Affects were induced by a two-stage imagination procedure of recalling autobiographical experiences. Three periods of divergent thinking were measured to represent the participants' creative ideation at different times. Creative…

Watts, Logan L.; McIntosh, Tristan J.; Gibson, Carter; Mulhearn, Tyler J.; Medeiros, Kelsey E.; Mecca, Jensen T.; Cohen-Charash, Yochi – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2020
This study investigated the impact of mild shifts in affective tone (i.e., pleasant vs. unpleasant) and arousal (i.e., high vs. low) on three creative processes. Undergraduates read short stories designed to induce affective shifts and then were asked to generate solutions to a complex business problem. Shifts in affective tone and arousal…
