A wide array of scholarship has revealed the somewhat paradoxical relationship between creativity and mental health. On the one hand, substantial evidence demonstrates that certain forms of mental illness are associated with enhanced creativity. On the other hand, considerable evidence also confirms that engagement in creative pursuits improves wellbeing. In this paper, we examined the associations between creative potential, the pursuit of creative hobbies, wellbeing, and schizotypy in young people aged 16-22 years. Frequentist and Bayesian approaches revealed that a higher degree of disorganized schizotypal traits was associated with greater ideational fluency and more engagement in creative hobbies, and that a higher degree of interpersonal schizotypal traits was associated with lower wellbeing. The potential drivers of this dynamic association are discussed in this paper.
大量学术研究揭示了创造力与心理健康之间某种程度上自相矛盾的关系。一方面，大量证据表明，某些形式的精神疾病与创造力增强有关。另一方面，大量证据也证实，从事创造性追求能改善幸福感。在本文中，我们研究了16至22岁年轻人的创造潜力、对创造性爱好的追求、幸福感和精神分裂症人格特质之间的关联。频率学派和贝叶斯方法表明，更高程度的混乱型精神分裂症人格特质与更高的观念流畅性以及更多地参与创造性爱好有关，而更高程度的人际型精神分裂症人格特质与更低的幸福感有关。本文讨论了这种动态关联的潜在驱动因素。
