负性情绪对创造性问题解决中原型启发的影响

以科学发明创造问题为实验材料,通过行为实验和事件相关电位(ERP)技术,探讨了情绪对创造性问题解决中原型启发的影响.结果发现:正性情绪组成绩显著高于控制组,负性情绪组显著低于控制组,情绪的高低唤醒度之间没有显著差异;在ERP的分析中发现,中性条件下的ERP波幅最大,低负性条件次之,高负性情绪条件下的波幅最低.由此可以认为,正性情绪对原型启发有促进作用,负性情绪有抑制作用,其中高负性情绪的抑制作用强于低负性情绪.

TheEffectsofNegativeEmotionsonPrototype ElicitationinCreativeProblem-Solving

This research takes the questions related to scientific invention as the experimental material and uses a behavioral experiment and event-related potential(ERP) technology to explore how emotion influences prototype elicitation in creative problem-solving.The behavioral research discovered that the positive emotional group did better than the control group,the negative group behaved worse than the control group,and no significant differences were observed in arousal effect of high and low emotion.ERP analysis showed that the ERP wave amplitude was the biggest under the neutral condition and the lowest under the highly negative condition,with the moderately negative condition being in between.It is,therefore,concluded that positive emotions promote prototype elicitation and negative emotions inhibit it and that the inhibitory actions of highly negative emotions are stronger than those of moderately negative emotions.
