“…Defined as the process by which people think and act to produce novel works ( Guilford, 1950 ), creativity was said to comprise four steps: preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification ( Wallas, 1926 ). After decades of extensive research, a deeper understanding developed of the competencies, characteristics, and cognitive processes associated with creativity ( Plucker et al, 2004 ; Cadle, 2015 ), and researchers took a more nuanced and interdisciplinary approach to understanding creativity ( Goswami, 1996 ). For example, a recent grounded-theory study proposed that the creative process for journalists goes through four stages: cognition, cultivation, capture, and reflection ( Rubenstein et al, 2017 ).…”

Purpose: The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has had a significant impact on people’s lives, has apparently increased the incidence of depression. Although the topic of how depression affects creativity is contested, previous research has revealed a significant relationship between the two. The purpose of this study is to further investigate the relationship and the mechanisms that operate between depression and creativity.Methods: A total of 881 students at an independent college in China completed a questionnaire consisting of the Self-Reported Depression Scale, Runco Ideational Behavior Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale, Deliberate Rumination Scale and demographic information. Among the respondents, 317 (36.0%) were male and 564 (64.0%) were female, all of whom were from the same grade. Correlation analyses were conducted, and then the researchers carried out mediation analysis and developed a moderated mediation model.Results: The results indicated that (a) depression was positively related to creativity (r = 0.085, p < 0.05); (b) psychological resilience mediated the relationship between depression and creativity; specifically, psychological resilience was negatively related to depression (r = −0.462, p < 0.01), which in turn was positively related to creativity (r = 0.198, p < 0.01); and (c) deliberate rumination moderated the relationship between depression and psychological resilience, showing a significant negative correlation with depression (r = 0.138, p < 0.01), psychological resilience (r = 0.078, p < 0.05), and creativity (r = 0.288, p < 0.05); specifically, higher levels of deliberate rumination strengthened the negative correlation between psychological resilience and depression.Conclusion: The results suggest that depression is a positive predictor of creativity and may promote creativity to some extent. Further, individuals with greater psychological resilience are more creative than those with less psychological resilience, as it is a question of whether they can and to what extent they can effectively use depression as an emotional resource. Last, an individual’s level of deliberate rumination moderates the mediating process, especially at the stage where depression is associated with psychological resilience. These findings advance understanding of the mechanisms that operate between depression and creativity.

“…The study implied that the stronger the value of creative thinking, the better the efforts among the families to overcome poverty because of a positive relationship. The concept of self-creativity is still difficult to translate or test since humans live in various situations, cultures, religions or ideologies (Cadle, 2015). Creative thinking involves four aspects: the availability of a mind-based process, the manufacture of a product, human involvement and a place or premise for creativity to occur (Kozbelt, Beghetto, & Runco, 2010).…”

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between aspects of personal life-skills values and the efforts of traditional fishing families in Kuala Perlis in dealing with poverty. Design/Methodology/Approach: The sample consisted of 333 owners of households of traditional fishermen in Kuala Perlis, Malaysia. A Pearson correlation test was used to achieve the research objectives. Findings: The findings indicated that the fishermen’s efforts were good in dealing with poverty. However, the local fishermen of Kuala Perlis still live in poverty. Conclusion: According to the study, fishermen’s poverty was probably caused by the need for continual improvement in various life skills. This would help them deal with poverty more effectively. Research Implications: The implication of this study was that traditional fishermen should improve their life skills in order to reduce the poverty they experience. This was proven by Pearson's correlation analysis which showed a positive relationship between the constructs. Practical Implications: Traditional fishermen need to strengthen themselves with knowledge related to the value of personal skills in order to deal with family poverty. Contribution to Literature: In the context of literature, this research contributes to the study of poverty among traditional fishermen especially in the aspect of self-skills.

“…Creativity is said to incorporate four stages: arrangement, incubation, clarification, and confirmation ( Xu et al, 2021 ). After tens of years of comprehensive exploration, a more profound comprehension has been built regarding the capabilities, attributes, and intellectual cycles related to creativity, and scholars have adopted a more subtle and interdisciplinary method for comprehending creativity ( Cadle, 2015 ). For instance, new grounded-theory research suggested that the creative cycle for journalists involves four steps: intellect, improvement, capture, and contemplation ( Rubenstein et al, 2013 ).…”

Teachers have been viewed for many years as one of the most effective factors with an important role in academic and learning settings. Numerous studies have been carried out on teachers and their performances in the classroom. Feelings are one of the pillars of all humans which can have a crucial function in offering academia that can impact all domains of learning. Creativity is one of the subcategories of feelings that is worthy to people and the community. Nonetheless, as a significant mental attribute, it has not been attended to enough by experts in language teaching until now. Some factors that seem concerning creativity are grit and resilience, the grit has a basic function in the educational and teaching cycle because gritty educators are more inspired to handle difficulties in hard situations. Moreover, to beware of these difficulties as a response to unprecedented situations, a similar intellectual concept rises in positive psychology known as resilience, which explains the persistence and highlights individuals’ skills. Therefore, the present study delineates the relationship of these notions with language teachers’ creativity. To this end, through convenient sampling 264 male and female Chinese EFL teachers took part in the present study, and their creativity, grit, and resilience were scrutinized by filling out the related questionnaires. The results through correlation coefficients indicated that creativity was negatively but significantly related to grit, but it was positively and significantly related to resilience. The results of the multiple regression showed that both grit and resilience could significantly predict creativity although grit is a better predictor of creativity. Some educational implications of the research about the outcomes of the research under academic circumstances are suggested.
