عنوان	Creative Mood Swings: Divergent and Convergent Thinking Affect Mood in Opposite Ways
نوع پژوهش	مقاله چاپ‌شده
کلیدواژه‌ها	Creativity, Mood , Divergent and Convergent Thinking , dopamine
چکیده	Abstract Increasing evidence suggests that emotions affect cognitive processes. Recent approaches have also considered the opposite: that cognitive processes might affect people’s mood. Here we show that performing and, to a lesser degree, preparing for a creative thinking task induce systematic mood swings: Divergent thinking led to a more positive mood, whereas convergent thinking had the opposite effect. This pattern suggests that thought processes and mood are systematically related but the type of relationship is process-specific.
