Abstract: The application of Bayesian statistics to hypothesis testing - Bayes factors - is increasing in psychological science. Bayes factors quantify the evidence supporting the competing hypothesis or model, respectively, thereby making a judgment about which hypothesis or model is more supported by the data based on its value. The principles and applications of Bayes factor for ANOVA are, however, not available in China. We first present the theoretical foundation of Bayesian ANOVA and its calculation rules. It also shows how to perform Bayesian ANOVA and how to interpret and report the results of five common designs (one-factor between-group design, one-factor within-group design, two-factor between-group design, two-factor within-group design, and two-factor mixed design) using example data. Theoretically, Bayesian ANOVA is an effective alternative to conventional ANOVA as a powerful vehicle for statistical inferences.

Abstract: The impact of threats on creativity is one of the concerned and controversial topic in the field of psychology. Currently, there are three viewpoints: threats can hinder creativity generally; threats can promote creativity, under some certain conditions; there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between threats and creativity. However, the reasons for the divergence of these three viewpoints and the underlying mechanism are still unclear. This article review them from the perspectives of cognition and emotion and conclude that the divergence comes from differences in threat levels, creativity mechanisms and additional mediator/modulator variables. Therefore, future research can focus on systematically verifying the reasons for the divergence from the perspectives of cognitive and emotional intervention and exploring the cognitive neuroscience and genes mechanisms of the relationship between threat and creativity.
