Alexithymia and Affect Intensity of Art Students
Previous studies have examined the personality traits of artists. Research indicates significant differences between artists, scientists, and individuals from the general population (Feist, 1998; Chamorro-Premuzic, Furnham, & Reimers, 2007). However, studies examining emotion-related traits of a...

studies have examined the personality traits of artists. Research indicates
significant differences between artists, scientists, and individuals from the
general population (Feist,
1998; Chamorro-Premuzic, Furnham, & Reimers, 2007).
However, studies examining emotion-related traits of artists are relatively
rare. Affective styles and traits may distinguish artists from other groups. The
present study focuses on two objectives. The first is to examine the degree to
which art students present a specific emotional profile including alexithymia
and affect intensity, compared with nonart students. The second objective is to
examine the degree to which these characteristics predict level of creativity.
Creative performance was evaluated based on productions during an art school
workshop. Results indicate that art students present a higher level of
alexithymia compared with available norms. However, they show also a higher
fantasy life, which appears to be an important trait of art students. Finally,
results indicate that art students present a higher level of negative intensity
than the general population. |
