趋近—回避框架下的创造性动机分析

Abstract

Abstract: The relationship between motivation and creativity has always been at the center of researchers’ attention. However, previous research mainly focused on how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation influence creativity. Recently, the impact of approach-avoidance motivation on creativity has become a new research topic, which led to fruitful findings. On one hand, affects and cues associated with approach motivation, as well as individuals’ chronic approach motivation, are all found to have a positive impact on creativity. On the other hand, the latest research showed that avoidance motivation could also facilitate creativity when individuals have sufficient cognitive resources and believe that is necessary to put efforts into creative tasks. Exploring the relationship between avoidance motivation and creativity, examining the cultural differences of the relationship between approach-avoidance motivation and creativity, investigating the co-influence of chronic and situational approach-avoidance motivation on creativity, and integrating other motivation frameworks are some possible directions in the future.

Key words: approach-avoidance motivation, implicit affective cues, creativity, The Dual Pathway to Creativity Model, Conservation of Energy
