Abstract

Objective: Everyday creativity is fundamental to human existence and improved well-being. Beyond recent attention regarding how contextual, lifestyle, personality, and neurobiological differences might foster everyday creativity, empathy may also constitute an intriguing connection. However, this potential relationship has not yet been systematically assessed.

Methods: Study 1 used multiple psychometric instruments to examine the levels of emotional and cognitive empathies and everyday creativity among different samples (n = 809). Study 2 used a cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) to examine longitudinal behavioral data (n = 653 at T1, n = 413 at T2) to determine how cognitive empathy might predict everyday creativity.

Results: Study 1 found that cognitive but not affective empathy exhibited a significant positive correlation with everyday creativity and domain-specific creative behaviors. Study 2 also reported a positive correlation between cognitive empathy, overall creative achievement, and certain domain-specific creative achievements. Cognitive empathy was linked to greater involvement in everyday creativity.

Conclusion: To our knowledge, these studies are the first to demonstrate a robust relationship between cognitive empathy and everyday creativity across different samples, measures, and longitudinal data, providing evidence of a nuanced relationship between cognitive empathy and creative achievement. Future studies should explore how creativity or empathy may foster empathic/creative development.

移情创造力：移情与日常创造力之间的关联》。

目的：日常创造力是人类生存和改善福祉的基础。除了最近对环境、生活方式、个性和神经生物学差异如何培养日常创造力的关注之外，同理心也可能构成一个有趣的联系。然而，这种潜在的关系尚未得到系统的评估。方法：研究1采用多种心理测量工具检测不同样本（n = 809）的情感、认知共情和日常创造力水平。研究2使用交叉滞后面板模型（CLPM）来检查纵向行为数据（n = 653在T1， n = 413在T2），以确定认知共情如何预测日常创造力。结果：研究1发现，认知共情与日常创造力和特定领域的创造行为呈显著正相关，而情感共情与日常创造力和特定领域的创造行为呈显著正相关。研究2还报道了认知共情、整体创造性成就和特定领域创造性成就之间的正相关关系。认知同理心与更多地参与日常创造力有关。结论：据我们所知，这些研究首次通过不同的样本、测量和纵向数据证明了认知共情与日常创造力之间的密切关系，为认知共情与创造性成就之间的微妙关系提供了证据。未来的研究应该探索创造力或移情如何促进移情/创造性发展。
