| On account of its function as the base of creativity, the essence of creativity-driven actually lies in the talents-oriented ones, while youth, in their golden age of progressing creativity, if are focused on and nurtured for shaping their innovative ability, must will exert profound impact on the further development of the nation.Creativity, as the highest expression of human intelligence, plays such a vital strategic role in promoting the progress and reform of human society. In Now Days, with science and technology advancing and social competition towards severer, creativity, as the core in leading technology innovation, has attracted an increasing attention of the community.At present, the studies on creativity of researchers and educators mostly focus on the emotion and personality related aspects, while barely on cognitive style. Meanwhile, researches on Creativity and cognitive styles are mostly concentrated on the college students and the adult group when the proportion which is on the primary and secondary groups is so less. As for the conclusions, they talk about influence factors and interventions in large scales while less about the impact mechanism. Therefore, this study, comprising a total of three experiments, set about its topic from the perspective of creativity, studies the impact mechanism of cognitive style and emotion on individual creativity.The first experiment studies the effectiveness of affective priming materials by granting the questionnaires of mood measuring after or before 60 sixth grade subjects watch movies. The results show that the priming materials can stimulate corresponding target emotions.The second experiment mainly researches the impact of cognitive styles and emotional interaction on individual creativity. The independent variable is the cognitive styles (field independence/field dependence) and emotions (positive activation/negative activation), and the dependent variable is the creativity task fraction (Top2), exerting in 2×2 between-subjects experiment. Results show that the main effect of cognitive style and mood is not significant, while significant the interaction.The third experimental study is of the interaction mechanism of cognitive style and emotional on individual creativity. Remaining the independent variable, dependent variable unchanged, add two intermediary variables--cognitive flexibility and cognitive persistent, to initiate the 2×2 between-subjects experiment and the mediating effect test. The outcomes show that it is the cognitive mediation mechanism of cognitive flexibility and persistence that makes the cognitive style and emotion influence individuals' creativity. It embodies specifically that field-independent individuals in a positive mood enhance the promotion of creativity by activating cognitive flexibility, while field-dependent individuals in a negative mood increase creativity by activating cognitive persistence.The conclusion part makes a further interpretation of the creativity dual-channel model and cognitive adjustment model. Meanwhile, the emotional penetration theory is verified, too. |
