It seems that there is a connection between the period when women perform their most creatively and productively and ovulation, the most fertile stage of ovulation. According to a study by researchers who claim that women tend to be more productive during these periods, women’s potential increases during ovulation when they are most likely to become pregnant.
Ovulation period on average; occurs approximately 2 weeks before the start of a woman’s menstrual period, heralding the onset of the ‘optimal fertility framework’ in which women have the highest chance of conceiving.
Women may be unconsciously using creativity and intelligence to impress potential mates
Within the scope of the study carried out by a research team working at the SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw; Creative thinking tasks were identified for more than 750 women between the ages of 18 and 35 who participated in the study. As a result of the research, the team discovered that the more original ideas were produced during the periods when the chances of pregnancy were higher, and these ideas were more diverse.
Researchers argue that this link between creative potential and fertility is an ‘adaptive function’, suggesting that people may have evolved to use creativity to influence individuals they see as potential ‘mates’.
Katarzyna Galasinska and Aleksandra Szymkow, co-authors of the new study; He replicated the study’s initial findings to see if there was a correlation between women’s ovulation cycles and creativity levels. Galasinska and Sxymkow; He also pointed to earlier studies that argued that women of childbearing age exhibit physical and cognitive behaviors such as “his eyes are shining and cheeks are flushed” and “are more willing to engage in mating behaviors.” Galasinska said that women have evolved to act differently when their potential to conceive is high, and that sexual hormones partially elevate their mood. Underlining that a positive mood also positively affects thinking flexibility, Galasinska said; He stated that women feel more courageous and powerful around the time of ovulation, and as a result, they can take on more risky jobs. Galasinska also added that creativity requires taking risks to overcome stereotypes and mental barriers.
The main purpose of the research is to help women make better use of their menstrual periods.
Research published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health; It aims to help women learn how to turn their menstrual periods to their advantage. According to Galasinska, it is extremely important for women to be aware that the process before the increased estrogen level drops is keeping them ‘high’.
A scientist named Geoffrey Miller first put forward the theory in 2000 that women use their intelligence and creativity to signal that they are ‘suitable’ to potential spouses.
