The relationship between creativity and temperament has been well documented in studies with professional artists. This also pertains to affective temperaments which constitute the vulnerability to affective disorders. However, less is known about the contribution of particular temperaments to specific components of creativity, for example, ideational fluency, or originality of thinking. The aim of the present study was to assess affective temperaments and creativity in artistic and non‐artistic students. Ninety (39 artistic and 51 non‐artistic) students were enrolled in the study. Affective temperaments were evaluated by means of TEMPS‐A questionnaire. Creativity was measured with BWAS test assessing the originality of thinking and a sample of tasks derived from BIS battery, assessing ideational fluency. Artistic students showed higher rates of cyclothymic temperament. They also outperformed non‐artistic students in both domains of creativity. The originality of thinking correlated positively with the level of cyclothymic temperament, whereas ideational fluency was positively related to hyperthymic temperament. Ideational fluency also correlated with the level of parental education. Results indicate that creativity is related to temperaments underlying predisposition to bipolar affective disorder; however, different temperaments are related to different aspects of creativity.

艺术和非艺术学生的创造力和情感气质：不同的气质与创造力的不同方面相关

与专业艺术家的研究已充分证明了创造力与气质之间的关系。这也与构成易患情感障碍的情感性情有关。但是，人们对于特定的性情对创造力的特定组成部分的贡献知之甚少，例如，观念流利或思维的独创性。本研究的目的是评估艺术和非艺术学生的情感气质和创造力。这项研究招募了90名（39名艺术和51名非艺术）学生。用TEMPS‐A问卷评估情感气质。创意是通过BWAS测试评估的，该评估评估了思维的独创性，并从BIS电池中提取了任务样本，评估了概念流畅性。艺术专业的学生表现出较高的气胸性气质。在创造力的两个方面，他们的表现也优于非艺术类的学生。思维的独创性与胸腺的气质水平呈正相关，而意念的流畅性与胸腺的气质呈正相关。概念流利度也与父母教育水平相关。结果表明，创造力与双相情感障碍易感性有关。但是，不同的气质与创造力的不同方面有关。概念流利度也与父母教育水平相关。结果表明，创造力与双相情感障碍易感性的气质有关。但是，不同的气质与创造力的不同方面有关。概念流利度也与父母教育水平相关。结果表明，创造力与双相情感障碍易感性有关。但是，不同的气质与创造力的不同方面有关。
