Abstract

Abstract This study examined the influence of different mood states on Creative Science Problem Finding (CSPF).CSPFwas measured in terms of Fluency, Flexibility, and Originality. Imagery techniques were used to induce positive or negative mood states in participants, with results suggesting that positive mood led to a significant increase inCSPFperformance compared with neutral mood, especially for the dimensions of fluency and flexibility. No difference was found between negative mood and neutral mood. Results provide evidence that anger had no impact onCSPFperformance compared with neutral mood. However, fear appeared to inhibit the performance ofCSPF. The interaction between specific moods andCSPFprovide evidence that moods influencedCSPFwith open instructions more than with closed instructions.
