A virtual reality study on the relationship between explicit and implicit indices of creativity and explicit personality traits
摘要
The connection between personality and creativity has long intrigued the scientific community, producing mixed findings on which specific personality traits influence creativity. To investigate this relationship more thoroughly, our study employs both explicit and implicit measures. Explicit measures include self-report questionnaires on personality, creativity and emotions, while implicit measures involve a virtual reality environment where users create artworks. This allows the creation of a realistic environment (Lucifora et al., Frontiers in Psychology, 15(1432141),
First, examine the correlation between scores on personality traits and creativity traits; and second, to explore how personality traits may influence user’s creative skills during a VR-based creative task. Our findings support previous studies on the relationship between extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness and creativity while also providing new insights into how personality shapes artistic skills.
