The Importance of Being Emotional : How do Emotions Affect Entrepreneurial Opportunity Evaluation and Exploitation? (2010, result): “Interestingly though, our findings are somewhat in line with Davis’ (2009) recent meta-analysis of the relationship between emotions and creativity.”
Advances and Open Questions in the Science of Subjective Well-Being (2018, unknown): “Spiegel and Giese-Davis (2003) reviewed evidence suggesting that negative states are related with more certainty to cancer progression than to its incidence.”

Awe Enhances Creative Thinking: An Experimental Study (2018, background): “This aspect is relevant because it has been noted that low-level emotional states did not impact on creativity as much as moderate ones: An optimal level of activation is needed for an emotional state to actually impact creativity (Davis, 2009).”

Improvisation facilitates divergent thinking and creativity: Realizing a benefit of primary school arts education (2015, background): “Whilst previous work has shown a benefit of positive activating mood states for divergent thinking (Baas et al., 2009; Davis, 2009) that was clearly not the whole story in the present case as the benefit of mood would have been shared equally by both groups.”
THE ROLE OF CREATIVITY IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP (2010, background): “…much of our behaviour is shaped by intangible, implicit dimensions based on mood and feeling, sensory experience and elements of the unconscious (Davis 2009): P10: It is proposed that an entrepreneurial environment is more likely to result in impacting on mood in a positive sense, and therefore…”
A Conservation of Resources Perspective on Negative Affect and Innovative Work Behaviour: the Role of Affect Activation and Mindfulness (2016, unknown): “In this regard, most researchers have investigated the effects of positive affective states on innovationrelated outcomes, converging on the view that positive affect leads to higher creativity (e.g. Davis 2009) and innovativeness (e.g. Madrid et al. 2014).”
A multilevel model of transformational leadership, affect, and creative process behavior in work teams (2015, background): “Moreover, while activating affect can play a role in fostering creativity, recent meta-analytical reviews by Baas et al. (2008) and Davis (2009) suggests that the effects of negative feelings on creativity tend to be more complex and sensitive to context than those of positive feelings.”
