摘要: 灵感既是一种人格特质, 也是一种状态体验。无论是作为心理结构的特质灵感, 还会作为欲求体验的状态灵感, 都具有动力性、唤起性和超越性三个核心特征。状态灵感是由诱发刺激所唤起的, 并使个体趋向于目标, 包括by成分和to成分两个独立的过程成分。灵感与积极情绪相比, 具有相当的动力性、更多的超越性和更少的责任性。灵感有利于创造力的发挥, 有益于心理健康, 能够增进个体的幸福感。未来的研究应对领域特异性的灵感、灵感结构的普遍性、灵感的诱发方法以及灵感影响心理健康和幸福感的机制做更深入的探讨。

Abstract: Inspiration can be defined as a psychological trait and also a temporary state. As both a psychological construct and an appetitive motivational state, inspiration is conceptualized as having three core characteristics: motivation, evocation and transcendence. State inspiration is evoked by some trigger stimuli and motivates individuals to approach targets. “By” and “to” components are two separate processes of state inspiration. Relative to positive affect, inspiration involves comparable motivation, greater transcendence, and lesser responsibility. Inspiration can energize the creativity, promote mental health and enhance well-being. Future research should focus on the domain-specific inspiration, the generalizability of inspiration as a psychological construct, the methods of induction of inspiration, and the mechanisms underlying the influence of inspiration on mental health and well-being.

Key words: inspiration, creativity, mental health, well-being
