Summary

This chapter examines the role of emotion traits in creativity. Here, creativity is defined as a syndrome that involves attitudinal, cognitive, and behavioral components. Emotion traits most centrally affect aspects of the creativity syndrome that are manifested across situations and time. Specifically, the chapter reviews evidence of emotion traits influencing the creative decision, creative process engagement, domain-specific performance, and frequency of creative activities and achievement. The function of emotion traits is to direct attention, energize, and lower the threshold for behavior. The chapter suggests future directions in the study of emotion traits and creativity.
