OBJECTIVE
Novelty seeking (the tendency to explore things novel and unfamiliar) has been extensively researched in the clinical and health domains, but its effects on creative performance are largely unknown. We examined whether creativity-related personality traits (openness to experience and extraversion) are associated with novelty seeking, and whether novelty seeking is linked to, and facilitates, creativity.
METHOD
In Study 1a (N = 230; M = 20; 64% females) and Study 1b (N = 421; M = 19; 65% females), we measured extraversion, openness to experience, novelty seeking, and divergent thinking. To provide causal evidence for the relation between novelty seeking and creativity, in Study 2 (N = 147; M = 27; 75% females), we manipulated people's motivation to seek novelty and then measured subsequent divergent thinking.
RESULTS
In Studies 1a and 1b, we demonstrated that trait novelty seeking is associated with openness and extraversion, on the one hand, and divergent thinking on the other. In Study 2, the novelty seeking manipulation led to greater divergent thinking.
CONCLUSIONS
We conclude that novelty seeking is linked to openness to experience and extraversion, and that it can lead to greater divergent thinking.
目的
在临床和健康领域，人们对寻求新奇（探索新奇和陌生事物的倾向）进行了广泛的研究，但它对创造性表现的影响在很大程度上还不清楚。我们研究了与创造力相关的人格特质（开放性和外向性）是否与寻求新奇有关，以及寻求新奇是否与创造力有关，并促进了创造力。
方法
在研究 1a（N=230；M=20；64%女性）和研究 1b（N=421；M=19；65%女性）中，我们测量了外向性、开放性、寻求新奇和发散思维。为了为寻求新奇与创造力之间的关系提供因果证据，在研究 2（N=147；M=27；75%女性）中，我们操纵了人们寻求新奇的动机，然后测量了随后的发散思维。
结果
在研究 1a 和 1b 中，我们证明了特质寻求新奇与开放性和外向性有关，另一方面也与发散思维有关。在研究 2 中，寻求新奇的操作导致了更大的发散思维。
结论
我们得出的结论是，寻求新奇与开放性和外向性有关，并且可以促进更大的发散思维。
