Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Creative geniuses’ deviant behaviors have drawn scholarly attentions for centuries. Plato, for instance, claimed that, “all the greatest benefits of Greece have sprung from madness.” Recent studies have found that creativity and immoral behaviors do seem to be highly correlated and concluded that deviant behaviors stimulate creative behaviors or vice versa. The current investigation raises the possibility that in addition to the effects of deviant behaviors on creativity, the moral reasoning processes behind the behaviors may also increase creativity. Across four studies, we investigated the effect of utilitarian reasoning on creativity. Study 1 showed a positive correlation between utilitarian reasoning and creativity. Study 2 found positive causal effect of utilitarian reasoning on creativity. We argued that utilitarian reasoning increases cognitive flexibility and willingness to deviate from norms because of the need to make conditional or contingent judgments. Indeed, we found that utilitarian reasoning increases creativity through the mediation of cognitive flexibility and willingness to deviate from norms (Study 3, 4). These findings suggest that instead of searching for “immoral geniuses” perhaps scholars could direct their attention more towards “utilitarian geniuses.”

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
