Creative idea selection is an important part of the creative process, but the current research on creative idea selection has not attracted enough attention, and this lack is particularly evident in the research on creativity focusing on adolescents. In view of this, in this study, centered on the creative process, we delved into the effect of the construal level on adolescents' creative idea selection and whether there were domain differences in this effect. The effect of trait-level construals in the general and social creative domains on creative idea selection was examined in Study 1. The results showed that (1) the creativity of the ideas selected by adolescents with high trait-level construals was higher than that of those with low trait-level construals; (2) the creativity and novelty of idea selection in the social creative domain were significantly lower than those in the general creative domain of adolescents. To determine the consistency and stability of the effects of construal level on creative idea selection, Study 2 distinguished between high and low construal levels on the basis of state initiation. It was demonstrated that (1) the creativity and applicability scores for the idea selection of adolescents with high state-level construals were higher than those of adolescents with low state-level construals; (2) the overall creativity and novelty of adolescents' idea selection in the social creative domain were significantly lower than those in the general creative domain. On the basis of the above results, the following conclusions were drawn in this study: (1) the overall creativity and novelty of adolescents' idea selection in the social creative domain are lower than those in the general creative domain, but there are inconsistent results with respect to applicability; (2) both high trait- and state-level construals can promote the creativity and novelty of adolescents' social creative idea selection.
创意想法选择是创意过程的重要组成部分，但目前关于创意想法选择的研究尚未引起足够的关注，这种不足在以青少年为重点的创造力研究中尤为明显。有鉴于此，在本研究中，我们以创意过程为中心，深入探讨了解构水平对青少年创意想法选择的影响以及这种影响是否存在领域差异。研究1考察了一般和社会创意领域中特质水平的构念对创意想法选择的影响。结果表明：（1）特质水平构念高的青少年所选择想法的创造力高于特质水平构念低的青少年；（2）青少年在社会创意领域的想法选择的创造力和新颖性显著低于其在一般创意领域的想法选择。为了确定构念水平对创意想法选择影响的一致性和稳定性，研究2在状态启动的基础上区分了高、低构念水平。结果表明：（1）状态水平构念高的青少年想法选择的创造力和适用性得分高于状态水平构念低的青少年；（2）青少年在社会创意领域的想法选择的整体创造力和新颖性显著低于其在一般创意领域的想法选择。基于上述结果，本研究得出以下结论：（1）青少年在社会创意领域的想法选择的整体创造力和新颖性低于其在一般创意领域的想法选择，但在适用性方面存在不一致的结果；（2）特质水平和状态水平的高构念都能促进青少年社会创意想法选择的创造力和新颖性。
