ABSTRACT

Motivation is key to the generation of creative ideas, intrinsic motivation is the core driving force of creativity. Researchers believe that individuals with higher intrinsic motivation will produce higher novelty and flexibility. Creativity may also be influenced by environmental cues, which are objects in the environment that individuals can use to solve problems. This study investigated the influence of intrinsic motivation and environmental cues on social creativity and whether there is an interaction effect of intrinsic motivation and environmental cues on the process of electronic brainstorming (EBS). The results showed that individuals generated more ideas (both in quantity and type) when presented with more cues. In this process, the influence of the number of cues on the fluency and flexibility of social creativity was regulated by intrinsic motivation. The more novel the cues, the higher the overall level of originality of the ideas generated by participants. In this process, the influence of the novelty of cues on the effectiveness and fluency of social creativity was regulated by intrinsic motivation. This study offers a fresh theoretical perspective on the complicated relationship between intrinsic motivation and creativity. Furthermore, it provides empirical evidence to inform training on social creativity for university students.

摘要

动机是创意产生的关键，内在动机是创造力的核心驱动力。研究人员认为，具有较高内在动机的个体会产生较高的新颖性和灵活性。创造力也可能受到环境线索的影响，环境线索是个人可以用来解决问题的环境中的物体。本研究探讨了内在动机和环境线索对社会创造力的影响，以及内在动机和环境线索对电子头脑风暴（EBS）过程是否存在交互作用。结果表明，当收到更多提示时，个人会产生更多想法（无论是数量还是类型）​​。在这个过程中，线索数量对社会创造力流畅性和灵活性的影响受到内在动机的调节。线索越新颖，参与者产生的想法的整体原创性水平就越高。在此过程中，线索的新颖性对社会创造力的有效性和流畅性的影响受到内在动机的调节。这项研究为内在动机与创造力之间的复杂关系提供了全新的理论视角。此外，它还为大学生​​社会创造力的培训提供了经验证据。线索的新颖性对社会创造力的有效性和流畅性的影响受到内在动机的调节。这项研究为内在动机与创造力之间的复杂关系提供了全新的理论视角。此外，它还为大学生​​社会创造力的培训提供了经验证据。线索的新颖性对社会创造力的有效性和流畅性的影响受到内在动机的调节。这项研究为内在动机与创造力之间的复杂关系提供了全新的理论视角。此外，它还为大学生​​社会创造力的培训提供了经验证据。
