• Cognitive Appraisals and Interest in Visual Art: Exploring an Appraisal Theory of Aesthetic Emotions (2005, background): “Several individual differences predict emotional responses to art, such as openness to experience, sensation seeking, schizotypy, and extraversion ( Feist & Brady, 2004; Furnham & Walker, 2001; Rawlings, 2000, 2003; Rawlings & Bastian, 2002; Rawlings, Twomey, Burns, & Morris, 2002).”
• Humans Prefer Curved Visual Objects (2006, background): “An evolutionary standpoint suggests that people might learn to Volume 17—Number 8 647 prefer objects that promote safety, and to fear objects that impede it (Feist & Brady, 2004).”
• Multicultural experience enhances creativity: the when and how. (2008, background): “Because individuals who are more open to experience are also more receptive to novel ideas (Costa & McCrae, 1992; Feist, 1998; Feist & Brady, 2004; McCrae & Costa, 1987), they should be more ready to appreciate and adapt to the novel practices in foreign cultures.”
• On Being Moved by Art: How Reading Fiction Transforms the Self (2009, background): “Less frequent are examinations of what traits in the general population are related to appreciation of particular artistic styles (Feist & Brady, 2004), what similarities obtain between theories of personality and theories of art (Duke, 2002), and whether personality can be considered a work of art…”
• Are the sources of interest the same for everyone? Using multilevel mixture models to explore individual differences in appraisal structures (2009, background): “For example, people high in openness prefer complex visual art over simple art, seek out novel instead of familiar experiences, and show stronger physiological activation to novelty (eg, Feist & Brady, 2004 ; Kashdan, 2004 ; Rawlings, Twomey, Burns, & Morris, 2002 ; Zuckerman, 1994 ).”
