<p>Previous research has confirmed the positive influence of second language (L2) proficiency on creativity. However, the underlying cognitive mechanism remains unknown. The current study is trying to address this issue by incorporating the Dual-Pathway to Creativity Model (DPCM) and using path analysis. Correlation analyses have shown positive associations among L2 proficiency, cognitive flexibility, grit, cognitive inhibition, resilience, and creativity. Path analysis has demonstrated that there are four cognitive paths of the influence of L2 proficiency on bilinguals’ creativity, i.e., (a) L2 proficiency → cognitive flexibility → creativity; (b) L2 proficiency → cognitive flexibility → grit → creativity; (c) L2 proficiency → cognitive inhibition → creativity; (d) L2 proficiency → cognitive inhibition → resilience → creativity. The current study has confirmed the multiple cognitive paths for the influence of L2 proficiency on creativity in bilinguals and provided empirical support for and extended applicability of the DPCM in bilinguals.</p>

摘要

Previous research has confirmed the positive influence of second language (L2) proficiency on creativity. However, the underlying cognitive mechanism remains unknown. The current study is trying to address this issue by incorporating the Dual-Pathway to Creativity Model (DPCM) and using path analysis. Correlation analyses have shown positive associations among L2 proficiency, cognitive flexibility, grit, cognitive inhibition, resilience, and creativity. Path analysis has demonstrated that there are four cognitive paths of the influence of L2 proficiency on bilinguals’ creativity, i.e., (a) L2 proficiency → cognitive flexibility → creativity; (b) L2 proficiency → cognitive flexibility → grit → creativity; (c) L2 proficiency → cognitive inhibition → creativity; (d) L2 proficiency → cognitive inhibition → resilience → creativity. The current study has confirmed the multiple cognitive paths for the influence of L2 proficiency on creativity in bilinguals and provided empirical support for and extended applicability of the DPCM in bilinguals.
