伴随着全球化加速发展以及我国改革开放的深入，不同国家、地区乃至组织之间人们的交流越来越密切，多元文化经验对创造性的促进作用也逐渐被人们所重视，并初步得到了一些支持性证据。但是，以往研究在结论上存在争议，缺乏在中国文化背景下的实证研究，对于多元文化经验发挥作用的条件及其神经机制也有待探讨。据此，本项目在中国文化背景下展开，研究一采用横断研究、研究二采用纵向追踪设计，考查来华的海外留学生、赴海外留学的中国学生、异地求学的大学生、以及农村进入城市的流动儿童等四类被试在创造性方面的表现；研究三采用实验及问卷调查方法，考查经验开放性、模糊容忍性等与文化相关的个体因素对多元文化经验与创造性关系的调节作用；研究四采用实验方法，探讨多元文化经验促进创造性的神经机制。预期研究能够进一步厘清多元文化经验与创造性的关系，为二者提供重要的因果关系证据，同时还能够为促进我国青少年儿童创造性的培养提供重要的教育思路。

The acceleration of globalization and the deepen of reform and openness in our country have created ample opportunities for people in different nations and areas to acquire new cultural knowledge. More and more psychologists pay attention to the link between multicultural experiences and creativity, and got some correlational and experimental evidences supporting this relationship. Though many studies inquire into this problem, for the moment there is very little research conducted based on Chinese cultural background in this field. And, conclusions from previous studies still remains controversial. The present studies, based on Chinese cultural background, focus on the link between multicultural experiences and creativity. In study 1 and 2, we will investigate the development of creativity on four kinds of participants by employing cross-sectional and longitudinal design, such participants including overseas students in China, overseas Chinese students, students from other cities, and migrant children from rural area in Beijing. In study 3, we will investigate the moderate effect of different individual factors on the relationship between multicultural experiences and creativity, such factors including openness to experience, and ambiguity tolerance. In study 4, we will investigate the neural mechanism of multicultural experiences’ enhancing effect. These studies can provide more causal evidences for the link between multicultural experiences and creativity, and contribute to enhancing students’ creativity in our schools.
