Abstract
AbstractFor further understanding the joint contribution of environment, heredity and gender to creativity, the present research examined the prospective impact of paternal indifference & neglect in early life, TPH1 rs623580, offspring’s gender, and the interaction effects thereof on creativity in five hundred and thirty-nine unrelated healthy Chinese undergraduate students. Paternal indifference & neglect in early life was assessed on the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) and creativity on the Runco Creativity Assessment Battery (rCAB). Results showed significant paternal indifference & neglect × TPH1 genotype and TPH1 genotype × offspring’s gender interaction effects when predicting creativity. Specifically, paternal indifference & neglect in early life negatively predicted creativity in youth when individuals carry A allele of TPH1 (rs623580). In addition, male individuals who carry A allele were linked with lower level of flexibility compared to TT homozygote individuals. No significant three-way interaction was found. Findings from the current study suggested that the A allele of TPH1 (rs623580) might be a risk allele for creativity, and the long-term negative influence of paternal indifference & neglect in early life on individuals’ creativity in youth depending on TPH1 genotype.
