STUDYING ABROAD INCREASES CREATIVITY

I agree with the substance of the article linked below, but not so sure I like the title. Among other things, the author states: “anything that violates expectations . . . can boost creativity. For example, a semester spent studying abroad boosts students’ creativity. Why? New experiences that disrupt our usual way of life and show us a different perspective make us more mentally flexible or creative.”
