“…It is crucial to understand the motivational factors that influence creativity (Barbot & Lubart, 2012;Hur, Jeong & Piffer, 2014). Intrinsic motivation is a fundamental element of creativity, and it is generally recognized as being conductive to creative performance (Amabile, 1983;Ceci & Kumar, 2015). Although people have long been aware of the benefits of intrinsic motivation on creative performance, it is challenging to facilitate people's intrinsic motivation.…”

The present study tested the effects of extrinsic motivation on scientific and artistic creativity among Chinese middle school students. In Study 1, a between‐groups design was applied to examine the effects of expected rewards on scientific and artistic creativity among 123 students, and in Study 2 the same design was applied to examine the effects of expected evaluation from different raters on scientific and artistic creativity among 120 students. We also considered the effects of grade and gender in both studies. The results of Study 1 indicated that expected material reward had significant negative effects on scientific creativity for 7th graders, while expected social reward had significant positive effects on scientific creativity for 8th graders, and both expected material and social rewards had significant positive effects on artistic creativity. The results of Study 2 indicated that expected evaluation from teachers and classmates had significant negative effects on scientific creativity and significant positive effects on artistic creativity. These results suggest that there is no one‐size‐fits‐all answer to the effects of extrinsic motivation and creativity, Factors such as culture, type of extrinsic motivation, grade, and domains of creativity must be fully considered when cultivating adolescents’ creativity.

“…Bilgin (2017); psikolojik ve öznel iyi oluş bağlamında mutluluk ile yaratıcılık arasındaki ilişkiyi ölçmek amacıyla gerçekleştirdiği çalışmasında mutluluk ile yaratıcılık arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulamamıştır. Ceci ve Kumar (2015); yaratıcı kapasitenin mutluluk, etki, motivasyon ve stres ile ilişkisini incelemek amacıyla 420 lisans öğrencisi üzerinde bir araştırma yapmışlardır ve yaratıcı kapasite ile mutluluk arasında doğrudan anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadığı görülmüştür. Sindane'nin (2011); mutluluk, yaratıcılık, kişilik ve kontrol odağı arasındaki ilişkiyi ölçmek amacıyla gerçekleştirdiği çalışmada, yaratıcılık ile mutluluk arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır.…”

“…Extrinsic motivation, which is motivation to perform to obtain a reward, has been shown to negatively influence creativity; while intrinsic motivation, which is an individual's internal drive to succeed, is fundamentally positive influence on creativity. For instance, research has shown that deadlines tend to reduce intrinsic interests in tasks, and extrinsic motivators diminish the quality of work (Eisenberger & Cameron, 1996;Amabile, 1985;Ceci & Kumar, 2016) …”

This study examined interior design and fashion merchandising students because they creatively solve everyday consumer problems and employers competitively screen graduates for their creative and collaborative abilities. Students in these fields not only have to fulfill course requirements, but they also must exhibit a high level of creativity and be able to work with others. To examine the influence stress may have on the creative process of problem-solving, students working alone were compared to students working in teams. From this central focus, the study explored three research questions (RQ). RQ1 asked if stress is more likely to occur when students work alone as opposed to working in teams. RQ 2 pertained to what parts of the design process are stressful when working on a team as well as what parts are stressful when working alone. RQ3 dealt with how students deal with stress when working alone, and how do they deal with it when working on a team. The research study employed a mixed methods approach involving an online 29 questions survey developed by the researcher that asked students to rank their perceptions using a five-point Likert scale. At the end of the online survey students answered one open-ended question that captured students' perceptions of stress. The outcomes indicated that individuals working alone and in teams had specific stress indicators at different points throughout the problem-solving assignments. Additionally, the study showed the value of social connectivity and freedom to select team members.
