AI Summary

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, Karolinska Institutet and partner institutions analyzed questionnaire data from thousands of twins living in Sweden. Their study, published in Molecular Psychiatry, found that artistic creativity—but not scientific creativity—is associated with poorer mental health, indicating that the relationship depends heavily on how creativity is measured. This measurement effect may explain why earlier research produced conflicting results about the link between creativity and mental health.
