The current exploratory study was designed to examine whether an expert-generated rating of the creativity of a product and of its darkness-brightness would both be influenced by the mood of the participants who had created that product. Positive and negative moods of the participants were induced by watching an emotional video, followed by appropriate instrumental music. Our participants were students of art and architecture, and they were asked to produce short texts and drawings while being in a specific mood. Their products tend to be subsequently rated by judges as being more bright and as being more creative when they had been generated while in a positive mood, and to be rated as being less bright and as being less creative when they had been generated in a negative mood. We also found an effect for the task, the drawings being rated as being more bright than the texts. In addition, those studying architecture generated more brightly rated products. Both positive and negative moods may result in creative products—and these will differ on a dark–bright rating scale.

检查情绪对创造力的正面和负面影响

当前的探索性研究旨在检查专家对产品创造力和暗亮度的评级是否会受到创造该产品的参与者的情绪的影响。参与者的积极和消极情绪是通过观看情感视频和适当的器乐来诱导的。我们的参与者是艺术和建筑专业的学生，​​他们被要求在特定的心情下创作简短的文字和图画。他们的产品随后往往被评委评价为在积极情绪下产生时更明亮、更有创意，而在消极情绪下产生时则被评为不那么明亮和缺乏创意。情绪。我们还发现了任务的效果，图纸被评为比文字更亮。此外，那些研究建筑的人产生了更受好评的产品。积极和消极的情绪都可能产生创造性的产品——这些在暗-亮评级量表上会有所不同。
