Understanding Individual Differences in the 4th-Grade Creativity Slump: The Roles of Cognitive Stress Appraisals and Cognitive Development This pilot study aims to explain the 4th-grade slump from two theoretical perspectives, namely, the cognitive-relational theory of stress and the cognitive-developmental perspective. While the cognitive-relational theory of stress predicts the 4th-grade slump in relation to stress appraisals with reference to school life during the transition from grade three to grade four, the cognitive-developmental perspective predicts the 4th-grade slump in relation to the development of conventional thinking or logical reasoning. This 12-months pilot study allows a small scale longitudinal study, in which a total of 60 4th-graders (at 9 years of age) will be invited to take part in the study. Participants’ creative thinking, stress appraisals, and cognitive-developmental level will be measured with the Test for Creative Thinking - Drawing Production (TCT-DP), the Stress Appraisal Measure (SAM), and the Conventionality and Postconventionality Test (CPCT), respectively Three parallel forms of each measure will be employed to elicit data before, during, and after school transition.

The Immediate and Sustaining Effects of Music Listening on Creativity in Individuals with High vs. Low Overexcitabilities The present research aims to understand how creativity is related to the nature and quality of musical exposure through the lens of the arousal-and-mood hypothesis. In achieving this overarching aim, rigorous experimental designs will be employed to achieve a series of specific research objectives that aim to (1) extend the research on the arousal-and-mood hypothesis by applying two standardized creativity tests that captures different aspects of creativity; (2) extend the research on the arousal-and-mood hypothesis by investigating both the immediate and sustaining effects of music listening on creativity; and (3) examine whether the types and the duration of the music effect in creative thinking can be moderated by individual characteristics in relation to emotional reactions towards musical stimuli. The findings derived from the present study will shed important light on the cultivation of creativity, gifted education, and music education.

Studying the Mozart Effect in Creativity through the Lens of the Arousal-and-Mood Hypothesis Does music make people smarter? Widespread interest in the potential benefits of music listening in intellectual functioning was sparked by a series studies that reported that listening to music composed by Mozart leads to improvements in spatial intelligence (e.g., Rauscher, Shaw, & Ky, 1993, 1995). The present study aims at studying the underlying nature of the Mozart effect on creativity through the lens of the arousal-and-mood hypothesis, which posits that the Mozart effect on creativity is actually the consequence of emotional reactions towards listening to Mozart.

A longitudinal study on stress appraisals across school transition in early adolescence The transition from primary to secondary school has been viewed as a significant shift in early adolescent development that is often suggested to be related to stress (Gunter & Bakken, 2010). A high level of stress often debilitates psychological well-being, physical health, and task performance. The present study aims to study school transition stress by adopting the framework of the cognitive-relational theory of stress. This theory emphasizes that an environmental factor (e.g., school transition) alone would not necessarily lead to stress. Rather, individuals’ subjective cognitive appraisal of the situation is a key mediating factor. Project Start Year: 2012, Principal Investigator(s): HE WU, Jing Mavis 何競 |
