Isen, A, M., Daubman, K.A., & Nowicki, G.P. (1987). Positive affect facilitates creative problem solving. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 56, 1122-1131.
Tests have shown that positive affects influence cognitive organization because they reflect relatedness that among cognitive elements.
Experiments done in this paper is for whether positive affect promotes creativity and that whether one with positive affect categorizes stimuli better. And the positive affects are created by a gift of candy or comedy film.
Results show that creativity can be promoted by positive affective state. This suggests for educators to regard everyone as potentially creative and make sure to create the conditions for this by rewarding the students or maybe an atmosphere of interpersonal respect for good self-esteem.
