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.

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

Abstract:

There is a clear link between creativity levels, entrepreneurship and employability thatimplies the need for higher education students to acquire creative skills and abilities. For this reason,this study aims to analyse creativity levels among university students and verify whether certainsociodemographic factors have an impact on creativity. Two approaches were applied to measurecreativity; on one hand, divergent thinking measured through three tasks, originality, fluency andflexibility, and creative potential (ideation – Runco Ideational Behavior Scale) on the other.

Abstract:

This article investigates the Cold War entanglements of the concept of “creativity” with the US military. The field of creativity studies came about after World War II, and the military was a vital site for the production of knowledge about creative thinking. Creativity emerged on the geopolitical radar, in terms of the acquisition of creative thinking skills, attempts to “think the unthinkable” (atomic futures), and the detection of creative citizens. Creative, divergent thinking garnered a renewed urgency with the Sputnik shock, which showcased that conformist practices in knowledge producti

IntroductionA strong pipeline of creative ideas and individuals is critical if we are to tackle the complex healthcare challenges we will face in the 21st century. The field of creativity is severely underinvestigated in the context of surgery, and it is of interest to explore the level and nature of creativity in surgeons, across various specialties and backgrounds. Identifying the areas of surgery with strong and weak levels of creativity, as well as the predictors of high creativity among surgeons, may aid in the selection and training of future surgeons.Methods and analysisA convenience sa

The article examines the problem of creativity, defining the essence of the concept of creativity, the relationship between intelligence and creativity, and the development of creativity from preschool age. In today’s world, the problem of creative personality development is quite relevant. In the life of every person there are difficult, contradictory situations when it is necessary to find the right solutions. For this, first of all, you need to be able to think outside the box, notice the smallest details, logically develop different options for action, be self-confident and free from stere

Abstract:

Brain regions associated with creativity is a focal point in research related to the field of cognitive neuroscience. Previous studies have paid more attention to the role of activation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in creativity tasks, which are mostly abstract conceptual tasks, and less attention to real-world creativity tasks. The right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is involved in functions such as visuospatial processing, which may have a positive impact on innovative solutions to real-world problems. In this study, tDCS technology was used to explore the effect of anodal sti

Abstract:

Linking children’s pretense with creativity has a long tradition. Most authors claim that pretending children exercise divergent thinking, so they can generate many diverse ideas. We show that focusing on divergent thinking when describing the creative features of pretense is not enough. Both pretending and creating are not only about thinking ideas, but also about acting, exploring the surroundings, and adjusting oneself to other people and to the ongoing happenings. Furthermore, both pretending and creating do not entirely rely on generating many and various ideas or actions, as they also in

Abstract:

The current theories suggest the fundamental role of semantic memory in creativity, mediating bottom-up (divergent thinking) and top-down (fluid intelligence) cognitive processes. However, the relationship between creativity, intelligence, and the organization of the semantic memory remains poorly-characterized in children. We investigated the ways in which individual differences in children’s semantic memory structures are influenced by their divergent thinking and fluid intelligence abilities. The participants (mean age 10) were grouped by their levels (high/low) of divergent thinking and fl

Little is known about the effectiveness of Interdisciplinary teaching (IDT) in higher education, particularly for healthcare education in Taiwan. It is vital to determine if IDT could enhance divergent creative thinking and team creativity among nursing students. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design. Students enrolled in a capstone nursing course for the development of healthcare-related products were divided into two groups. The intervention group (n = 61) was taught creative thinking skills with IDT by faculty. The control group (n = 84) was taught by nursing faculty wit

Relevance of the study. The study of cultural congruence in creative teenagers presents a signifi cant challenge due to the confl icting demands of cultural norms and the conditions necessary to foster creativity. These conditions are crucial for the social and personality development of teenagers. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack of research examining the complex relationship between contrasting psychological traits in adolescents, such as cultural congruence and creativity.

Abstract:

Background/Objectives. While mind wandering has often been linked to negative outcomes, some research suggests it has potential benefits for creativity, particularly through incubation. However, two critical gaps remain: limited understanding of mind wandering’s effects on creative performance and lack of comparative research examining its impact on both divergent and convergent thinking. The study addressed these gaps by comparing the effects of two types of mind wandering (i.e., with and without awareness) on both types of creative thinking, using repeated and novel problems post-incubation
