Creativity and Stress: Literature Review and Educational Implications
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study aims to analyze the relationship between the variables of creativity and stress through a bibliographic review of the scientific literature of studies published in the last ten years. Databases (Scopus and Web of Science) were used to carry out searches according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. After analyzing the resulting 42 articles, it was found that the majority of the studies show a significant and indirect relationship between both constructs. Although the conclusion suggests an indirect relationship, in some studies modulating variables are identified that could mediate or establish a direct connection, therefore, the need for additional research to delve into this relationship is highlighted, given the diversity of instruments, contexts and sample characteristics used, as well as like individual differences. The article concludes by addressing the educational implications derived from this review.
