According to the standard definition, creative ideas must be both novel and useful. While a handful of recent studies suggest that novelty is more important than usefulness evaluations creativity, little known about contextual interpersonal factors affect how people weigh these two components when making an overall creativity judgment. We used individual participant regressions mixed-effects modeling examine contributions ratings vary according context idea (i.e., relevant it real world) personality rater. Participants (N = 121) rated novelty, usefulness, from contexts: responses alternative uses task (AUT) genuine suggestions for urban planning projects. also assessed three traits participants: openness, intellect, risk-taking. found contributed among AUT projects, while projects ideas. Further, participants with higher openness intellect placed greater emphasis on evaluating ideas, but No significant effects were risk-taking trait.

The interaction of emotions with creative cognition is one the most intriguing topics in creativity research. In this study, we investigated extent to which various emotional states influence evaluation ideas, a crucial component thinking process. To end, used (both positive and negative) neutral pictures induce then asked participants evaluate exogenous ideas (i.e., those generated by other people) as part an alternative use task. As results previous studies suggest existence negative bias when judging highly presented non-creative, moderately creative, uses for everyday objects. Overall, gave higher ratings under engagement than or conditions. Moreover, context differently moderated three object categories. Specifically, non-creative uses, (to lesser extent) state, they did condition. On hand, lower either These data provide initial evidence that can are through divergent thinking.
