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 evaluation was measured by estimating the originality of each response provided by the participants. The results indicate that (a) during the initial period of ideation, groups with positive affect obtain better creative ideation than the groups with neutral or negative affect. (b) The ideation in positive affect groups gradually decreases over time, while the ideation in negative affect groups gradually increases over time. (c) During the evaluation of originality, groups with negative affect have a higher proportion of over‐estimates and a lower proportion of under‐estimates than groups with positive affect. The viewpoints of cognitive tuning theory, which posit that the affective state influences creativity, are supported.

情感状态和情感转移对创造性思维和评价的影响

本研究旨在检验情感状态和情感转移对构想和创造力评估的影响。通过回忆自传经历的两个阶段的想象过程来诱发情感。测量了三个阶段的发散思维，以表示参与者在不同时间的创意。通过评估参与者提供的每个回复的创意来衡量创意评估。结果表明：（a）在构想的初始阶段，具有积极影响的小组比具有中立或消极影响的小组获得更好的创意想法。（b）积极影响小组的想法随着时间的推移逐渐减少，而消极影响小组的想法随着时间的推移逐渐增加。（c）在评估原创性时，与产生积极影响的群体相比，产生负面影响的群体被高估的比例更高，而被低估的比例更低。支持认知调律理论的观点，这些观点认为情感状态会影响创造力。
