  3. Subclinical Inclination toward Manic-Depression and Creative performance on the Remote Associates Test E.M. Fodor

  4. Method • Participants: 335 students from Clark University • Students were broken up into groups of 20 according to their level of manic-depressive inclination

  5. Tests • Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory III (MCMI-III) • Used to determine the level of inclination in participants towards manic-depressive disorder • Remote Associates Test of Creativity (RAT) • Used to determine the level of creativity among participants • Mood Scale by Downey and Feldman (1996) • Used to determine if mood was affected after the writing exercise

  6. Procedure • Coin flipped to randomize participants • Relaxation exercise given to equalize prior moods • Asked to write about either: • A specific instance of peak performance • How they organized and sequenced their activities in an ordinary day

  7. Results • Mood scores for people who wrote on peak performance vs. ordinary day activities were not significantly different • Those with manic-depressive inclinations scored higher on the RAT then all other participants • The second highest RAT scores were from the manic-depressive inclined participants who wrote on their ordinary day experiences
