ABSTRACT

This study continued an in-depth investigation of the Plurilingual Creativity paradigm. It examined how Big Five personality traits moderated the relationship between plurilingualism/pluriculturalism and creativity. Data collection included assessments of plurilingual experience (measured by the abridged version of the Multilingual and Multicultural Experience Questionnaire), multicultural experience and desire (measured by the Multicultural Experience Questionnaire), intercultural competence (measured by Integrative Intercultural Competence Survey), and divergent thinking (measured by Unusual Uses test). A series of regression analyses using moderation models obtained evidence that neuroticism interacted with the plurilingual index (composed of the number of languages spoken by participants and their overall language proficiency), contributing to flexibility in divergent thinking. Extraversion interacted with the intercultural competence component, namely the management of intercultural interaction, contributing to fluency, flexibility, and originality in divergent thinking. It also interacted with multicultural experience in contributing to fluency. These findings emphasized the importance of considering personality traits in plurilingual creativity.

摘要

这项研究继续深入研究多语言创造力范式。它研究了大五人格特质如何调节多语言/多文化与创造力之间的关系。数据收集包括对多语言体验（通过多语言和多元文化体验问卷的精简版衡量）、多元文化体验和愿望（通过多元文化体验问卷衡量）、跨文化能力（通过综合跨文化能力调查衡量）和发散性思维（通过多语言和多文化体验问卷衡量）的评估。通过不寻常用途测试测量）。使用调节模型进行的一系列回归分析获得的证据表明，神经质与多语言指数（由参与者所说的语言数量及其总体语言熟练程度组成）相互作用，有助于发散思维的灵活性。外向性与跨文化能力成分相互作用，即跨文化互动的管理，有助于发散思维的流畅性、灵活性和原创性。它还与多元文化经验相互作用，有助于提高流畅性。这些发现强调了在多语言创造力中考虑人格特质的重要性。
