BACKGROUND
Creativity is an essential cognitive ability that plays a crucial role in advanced thinking. While previous research has demonstrated the impact of insomnia on cognitive function, its effects on creativity in Chinese adolescents remain unclear. This study explored the relationship between insomnia (specifically, daytime and nighttime disturbances) and creativity in adolescents. Additionally, it examined the potential mediating effect of the need for cognition on this relationship.
METHODS
Questionnaires were administered to 302 adolescents to measure their creativity, need for cognition, and insomnia levels using the Williams Creative Tendencies Scale, Need for Cognition Scale, and Bergen Insomnia Scale, respectively. Regression analysis was conducted to examine the direct impact of insomnia on creativity. Furthermore, a mediation model was constructed to investigate the role of the need for cognition in mediating the relationship between insomnia and creativity.
RESULTS
The findings of the present study indicated that insomnia had a direct impact on the creativity of adolescents, demonstrating a time-of-day effect. Daytime disturbances were found to have a positive correlation with overall creativity and imagination, whereas no significant direct effect was found between nighttime disturbances and creativity. Further analysis revealed that insomnia, specifically daytime disturbances, might influence creativity by affecting the individual's need for cognition. However, no similar indirect effects were observed for the relationship between nighttime disturbances and creativity.
CONCLUSIONS
Our findings indicate that adolescents might experience improved creativity as a result of daytime disruptions, and the level of need for cognition could play a crucial role in understanding the link between insomnia and creativity in adolescents.
背景
创造力是一种重要的认知能力，在高级思维中起着至关重要的作用。虽然之前的研究已经表明失眠对认知功能的影响，但它对中国青少年创造力的影响尚不清楚。本研究探讨了失眠（特别是白天和夜间的干扰）与青少年创造力之间的关系。此外，还研究了认知需求在这种关系中的潜在中介作用。
方法
采用威廉姆斯创造力倾向量表、认知需求量表和卑尔根睡眠量表分别对 302 名青少年进行问卷调查，以测量他们的创造力、认知需求和失眠水平。回归分析用于检验失眠对创造力的直接影响。此外，还构建了一个中介模型，以探讨认知需求在失眠与创造力之间关系中的中介作用。
结果
本研究的结果表明，失眠对青少年的创造力有直接影响，表现出时间上的影响。白天的干扰与整体创造力和想象力呈正相关，而夜间干扰与创造力之间没有显著的直接关系。进一步的分析表明，失眠，特别是白天的干扰，可能通过影响个体的认知需求来影响创造力。然而，对于夜间干扰和创造力之间的关系，没有观察到类似的间接影响。
结论
我们的研究结果表明，青少年可能会因白天的干扰而体验到创造力的提高，而认知需求的水平可能是理解青少年失眠与创造力之间关系的关键。
