Risk taking is often associated with creativity, yet little evidence exists to support this association. The present article aimed to systematically explore this association. In two studies, we investigated the relationship between five different domains of risk taking (financial, health and safety, recreational, ethical and social) and five different measures of creativity. Results from the first (laboratory-based) offline study suggested that creativity is associated with high risk taking tendencies in the social domain but not the other domains. Indeed, in the second study conducted online with a larger and diverse sample, the likelihood of social risk taking was the strongest predictor of creative personality and ideation scores. These findings illustrate the necessity to treat creativity and risk taking as multi-dimensional traits and the need to have a more nuanced framework of creativity and other related cognitive functions.
冒险行为通常与创造力相关联，但几乎没有证据支持这种关联。本文旨在系统地探究这种关联。在两项研究中，我们调查了冒险行为的五个不同领域（金融、健康与安全、娱乐、道德和社会）与创造力的五种不同衡量指标之间的关系。第一项（基于实验室的）线下研究结果表明，创造力与社会领域的高冒险倾向相关，而与其他领域无关。事实上，在第二项对更大规模且多样化样本进行的在线研究中，社会冒险行为的可能性是创造性人格和创意得分的最强预测指标。这些发现说明了将创造力和冒险行为视为多维度特质的必要性，以及拥有一个关于创造力和其他相关认知功能的更细致入微框架的必要性。
