Summary

This chapter takes a broad view of the relationship between emotions and creativity. We define emotions as involving an experiential component (described by valence, activation, and regulatory focus), as well as abilities to understand, use, and manage these experiences in the service of thinking and creative work. Creativity is defined as a process from the decision to be creative to idea generation and evaluation to product completion. Here, we describe the role of emotion states and emotion-related personality traits in creativity, the role of emotion-related abilities in creativity (e.g., emotion regulation), and emotions as effects of creativity. We end the chapter suggesting future directions in the study of emotions and creativity.
