Beyond Affective Valence: Untangling Valence and Activation Influences on Opportunity Identification (2015, background): “Positively valenced affect has also been tied to usage of broader and more inclusive categories (Amabile, 1983; Isen & Daubman, 1984; Isen, Niedenthal, & Cantor, 1992), more flexible deployment of attention (Baumann & Kuhl, 2005), and more global visual configuration (Gasper, 2003).”
Proactive Personality and Innovative Work Behavior: the Mediating Effects of Affective States and Creative Self-Efficacy in Teachers (2016, result): “Mikulincer et al. (1990) found that negative affect, relative to neutral and positive mood, suppressed IWB, whereas some studies have shown that negative affect sometimes promotes innovative performance (Baas et al. 2008; Gasper 2003; Yang and Hung 2015; Zhou and George 2001).”
A Dynamic Perspective on Affect and Creativity (2013, background): “According to PSI theory, an episode of negative affect is associated with a bottom-up mode of cognitive processing that focuses on incongruent and unexpected information (Kuhl, 2000); thereby, a detailed and objective understanding of a situation can be developed (Bless et al., 1996; Gasper, 2003; S”
A Dialectic Perspective on Innovation: Conflicting Demands, Multiple Pathways, and Ambidexterity (2009, background): “nentag, & Pluntke, 2006), and sheer necessity (Gasper, 2003) can also be drivers of idea generation.”
Dual Tuning in a Supportive Context: Joint Contributions of Positive Mood, Negative Mood, and Supervisory Behaviors to Employee Creativity (2007, unknown): “conditions, negative moods promote creativity (e.g., Gasper, 2003; George & Zhou, 2002;”
Interactive Effects of Mood and Task Framing on Creative Generation (2007, methodology): “Instead, as discussed earlier, we feel that Martin and his colleagues (see Martin, 2001, for a review) have compellingly demonstrated one way in which affective states, by means of the information they provide, may interactively influence task engagement and performance (cf. Gasper, 2003).”
The dual pathway to creativity model: Creative ideation as a function of flexibility and persistence (2010, result): “The third line of inquiry directly compares positive and negative moods, and this has also yielded inconsistent results: some researchers find higher levels of creativity for negative than for positive moods (eg, Gasper, 2003 ), others find the opposite (eg, Grawitch, Munz, & Kramer, 2003 ).”
How do we learn in a negative mood? Effects of a negative mood on transfer and learning (2007, methodology): “Gasper, 2003; fourth experiment). Second, negative mood significantly reduced transfer effects. The results from this second study are generally clear. They indicate that a sad as opposed to a happy mood reduces transfer performance, regardless of the population sampled and regardless of when mood i”
