社会排斥与创造力关系的元分析

Previous research on the relationship between social exclusion and creativity has shown some inconsistencies. To clarify this relationship and identify potential influencing factors, this study conducted a meta-analysis of 56 studies, encompassing 70 independent effect sizes and 22,781 participants. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between social exclusion and creativity (r = 0.19, 95% CI [0.25, 0.12]). The strength of this correlation was moderated by participants age, as well as the measurement tools for social exclusion and creativity, but not by the type of social exclusion, participants gender, or cultural background. This study highlights the importance of providing more positive feedback and encouragement, particularly to minors and individuals under long-term social exclusion stress, to mitigate the negative effects of social exclusion.
