This study investigated the impact of the climate of involution on graduate students' creativity and the role of cognitive flexibility through surveys and experiments. The results showed: (1) The climate of involution is negatively correlated with graduate students' willingness to innovate, and cognitive flexibility plays a mediating role in the relationship between the climate of involution and willingness to innovate. (2) The climate of involution not only facilitates convergent thinking but also suppresses cognitive flexibility and the novelty dimension of divergent thinking. Moreover, the suppression effect on the novelty dimension of divergent thinking is partially mediated by cognitive flexibility. The research demonstrates that the climate of involution has differential impacts on innovation willingness, divergent thinking, and convergent thinking, which are all manifestations of graduate students' creativity, with cognitive flexibility playing a crucial mediating role in these relationships.
