BACKGROUND
Substantial literature has linked bipolar disorder and risk for bipolar disorder with creative accomplishment, but few multimodal studies of creativity are available, and little is known about mechanisms.
METHODS
We use a multi-method approach to test the association of bipolar risk with several creativity measures, including creative accomplishments, creative personality traits, and a laboratory index of insight. We also examined whether multiple facets of motivation accounted for the links of bipolar risk with creativity. Among 297 undergraduates, mania risk, as measured with the Hypomanic Personality Scale was related to lifetime creativity and creative personality, but not to performance on the insight task. Motivational traits appeared to mediate the links of mania risk with both lifetime creative accomplishments and self-rated creativity.
LIMITATIONS
The study relied on a cross-sectional design and a convenience sample.
CONCLUSIONS
Future studies would benefit from exploring motivation as a positive aspect of manic vulnerability that may foster greater creativity.
背景
大量文献将双相情感障碍和双相情感障碍风险与创造性成就联系起来，但很少有关于创造力的多模式研究，而且对其机制知之甚少。
方法
我们使用多方法的方法来测试双相风险与几种创造力测量之间的关联，包括创造性成就、创造性人格特质和洞察力的实验室指标。我们还研究了多种动机特征是否可以解释双相风险与创造力之间的联系。在 297 名大学生中，用躁狂人格量表测量的躁狂风险与终身创造力和创造性人格有关，但与洞察力任务的表现无关。动机特征似乎在躁狂风险与终身创造性成就和自我评定的创造力之间起中介作用。
局限性
该研究依赖于横断面设计和方便样本。
结论
未来的研究将受益于探索作为躁狂脆弱性积极方面的动机，这可能会促进更大的创造力。
