Creativity is ability of producing some production with novelty, originality and social or personal value, according to certain intention, using all information that we have perceived. First, in the factors that affect creativity, emotions were emphasized by investigator more and more, there were some questions that should be explored even though some questions being studied, such as the effect of emotion on creativity was positive or passive. Secondly, question setting is also one of the important factors that affect the creativity. In classroom teaching, question setting was the threshold of suggesting the questions, and also the power of solving the questions. This study set two kinds of question setting, which are objective and subjective, in order to facilitate students'creativity. Third, nowadays we inclined to combine with several kinds of methods to measure creativity. In order to measure creativity effectively, we measured creative inclination, creative thinking as the scale of the creativity. Therefore, this study examined the influence of question setting and emotion on creative inclination and creative thinking.The dissertation included two experiments, the date of the first study measured a sample of 229 students of grade two, examining the influence of emotion on creativity. The second study was experimental validation: we used 2×2 two-factor randomized experiment design. A sample of 190 students was selected from grade 2 by randomly sampling, examining whether question setting, emotion influenced the creativity. The following conclusions were drawn from the research:(1) In the current study, positive emotion facilitated the creative thinking, and negative emotion prevented the creative thinking.(2) On the curiosity, the positive emotion was prominently higher than negative emotion. And there were no differences between the adventure, imagination, challenge, and creative inclination.(3) Emotion had indirect influence on creativity via curiosity: First, positive emotion had influence on the fluency, flexibility, originality and creativity directly on the one hand, on the other hand positive emotion had indirect influence on the fluency and creativity via curiosity. Second, negative had influence on the flexibility, originality and creativity directly on the one hand, on the other hand negative emotion had indirect influence on the fluency and creativity via curiosity.(4) The subjects'adventure and imagination of objective question setting was prominently higher than that of subjective question setting.(5) The subjects'fluency of objective question setting was prominently higher than that of subjective question setting.(6) In the condition of positive emotion, there were no difference between objective and subjective question setting; In the condition of negative emotion, subjects'creativity of objective question setting was prominently higher than that of subjective question setting.The current study made the mechanism of the influence of emotion specifically on creativity, and enriching the theory on creativity of the influencing factors.
