Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic induced widespread lockdowns, significantly altering daily life and routines.
  • While research has focused on negative impacts, potential positive outcomes like enhanced creativity remain underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on both professional creativity (Pro-C) and everyday creativity (little-c).
  • To compare creativity levels before and during lockdown periods.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire-based study was conducted on a French sample (N = 1266).
  • Self-reported measures of Pro-C and little-c were collected for periods before and during lockdown.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference was found in professional creativity (Pro-C) before and during lockdown.
  • A significant increase in everyday creativity (little-c) was observed during the lockdown period.
  • Individuals with lower baseline creativity demonstrated greater increases during lockdown.

Conclusions:

  • COVID-19 lockdowns positively impacted everyday creativity, particularly for those with initially lower levels.
  • Lockdowns, despite challenges, presented opportunities for creative growth in certain domains.
