Abstract:

Although creativity has been measured in various ways (ideas, products, achievements, and personality), the relationships between these measurements remain unclear. The current study examines whether divergent thinking predicts creative behavior (i.e., creative production and achievement) and whether beliefs about own creative personality influences the link between divergent thinking and creative behavior. Eighty-eight undergraduate students were assessed via a divergent thinking test, a creative production test, and a creative achievement questionnaire. The results showed that divergent thin

Abstract:

People often think it will be hard for artificial intelligence (AI) systems to copy creativity because it is a complicated and important part of human intelligence. Generative AI, which tries to make new and useful things, has shown promise in being able to copy creative processes. However, generative AI systems that are already in use often have trouble making results that are truly original. This is mostly because there isn't a clear scientific framework to help people be creative. We present a new mathematical model to improve creativity in creative AI systems in this work. Our model is bas

Abstract:

A fundamental premise of the future of work is that AI will replace people in many cognitive and physical tasks, leaving creativity as a core, human 21st century skill. However, the recent launch of generative AI (especially ChatGPT) has seen many claims that AI is creative. If true, then the foundation of future human work, and education, is under threat. To examine claims of AI creativity, this research applied a test of verbal divergent thinking – the Divergent Association Task – to two versions of ChatGPT (GPT3.5 and GPT4). The results are reported and compared to a large human baseline. W

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide new elements to understand, measure and predict managerial creativity. More specifically, based on new approaches to creative potential (Lubart et al., 2011), this study proposes to distinguish two aspects of managerial creative problem solving: divergent-exploratory thinking, in which managers try to generate several new solutions to a problem; and convergent-integrative thinking, in which managers select and elaborate one creative solution.

Abstract:

Divergent thinking ability, as an aspect of creativity, seems valuable to managers and entrepreneurs as they employ the tools of creative problem-solving and innovative thinking in pursuit of business success. Musical study in general, and classical guitar study to a greater degree, has the potential to improve divergent thinking and creative problem-solving abilities. As such, I suggest that utilizing classical guitar study as a creativity training tool may benefit entrepreneurs and managers within a variety of industries.

ABSTRACT Creativity theory suggests that effective solutions to creative problems depend on both divergent and convergent thinking (Cropley 2006). Using an experiment in which participants solve insight problems, I investigate the effect of incentive schemes on creative problem-solving performance. I find that both piece-rate pay and a flat wage plus public recognition generate higher performance with divergent thinking training than without. Consistent with the idea that incentives may promote more convergent thinking than divergent thinking, piece-rate pay generates lower creative problem-so

There is an ongoing debate about the components and processes of creativity. Within the subfield of creative insight, which is often considered to be the first measurable part of creativity, the role of working memory is discussed. Since creative insight appears to happen without conscious planning, the involvement of working memory appears to be limited; a hypothesis supported by several studies. However, there are several studies that support an opposing hypothesis. Namely, that creativity, including creative insights, is a form of divergent thinking and that working memory is needed for div

Creativity is a valuable skill for today’s workplace and one that universities should be emphasizing in the classroom. Teaching creativity usually involves the completion of “creative exercises” that help an individual understand how to think outside the box. Often individuals that are considered creative “practice” creativity on a daily basis, either through their own will or through their occupation, which increases their creative potential. Creativity is shown to be divided into multiple aspects, one of which is divergent thinking. This study examines participants’ divergent thinking skills

The purpose of this article is to analyze the different strategic models to understand and identify the factors that hinder the ability to develop divergent, open thinking free of technical and emotional bias to produce new and valuable things, or to apply solutions in a wide variety of ways. Studies on creators in the field of psychology, the process of development of traditional creativity applied in the degree in industrial design of the University Center UAEM Valle de Chalco in Mexico, and analogical reasoning through the sources of inspiration for creative production were taken into accou

Abstract:

Creativity tools are methods that can be used to promote innovative products and creative actions. There is a wide range of tools available for idea generation, employing divergent and convergent thinking for problem definition, exploration of problem features, generation of solution options, evaluation and implementation of ideas. Fundamental to their effective operation is to make use of a suitable creativity tool for a particular application and individual or team, to aid in the process of problem-solving, the refinement of old ideas, and the generation and implementation of new ideas.

Abstract:

In recent years, creative thinking has been gaining importance. Creative thinking can be broadly classified into two types of thinking: divergent thinking, which generates a wide variety of ideas from a single concept or idea, and convergent thinking, which converges a wide variety of ideas into a single concluding idea [1]. Since improving the performance of divergent thinking leads to the good performance of creative thinking, many methods have been proposed to support divergent thinking. One of the representative methods to evaluate divergent thinking performance is the Alternative Uses Tes

Abstract:

Thinking creatively, is a necessary condition of the Design process to transform ideas into novel solutions and break barriers to creativity. Although, there are many techniques and ways to stimulate creative thinking for designers, however, this research paper adopts SCAMPER; which is acronym of: Substitute- Combine-Adapt- Modify or Magnify-Put to another use-Eliminate-Reverse or Rearrange- to integrate the sustainability concepts within architectural design process. Many creative artifacts have been designed consciously or unconsciously adopting SCAMPER strategies such as rehabilitation and

Abstract:

The present study endeavors to analyze the challenges encountered by readers when interpreting poetry, and the development of their creative potential. Voluminous decoding of poetry texts is possible in the learning process if creative process is offered, which in turn enables to look for new ways of reading and explore comprehension labyrinths. Literature studies at secondary school require the development of creative task taxonomy, which would assist the reader – student to explore their creative potential and develop it deliberately. Creativity is beneficial in any area and can enrich every

Abstract:

With the rapid advancement of information technology, media multitasking—the simultaneous use of media devices (e.g., computers, smartphones) to perform multiple tasks—has become increasingly common in daily life. Existing studies have indicated that media multitasking affects individuals’ creativity. One limitation of the previous research is that most studies only focused on utilitarian tasks. However, in practical, multitaskers are often attracted by hedonic tasks.The perceived value of a task (hedonic vs. utilitarian) is defined as the extent to which an individual’s intrinsic and extrinsi
