Fighting the Slump: A Multi-Faceted Exercise For Fostering Creativity in Children

David H. Cropley 대한사고개발학회 2014 The International Journal of Creativity & Problem Vol.24 No.2
Declining creativity test scores (Kim, 2011) have renewed interest in mechanisms to stimulate and foster creativity both at home and in schools. There are many comprehensive discussions of the factors that must be addressed to develop the “habit” (Sternberg, 2007) of creativity. However, parents and teachers may struggle in turning these descriptive guidelines into practical action. To assist in fighting the slump in creativity scores, especially among young children, parents and teachers may benefit from a combination of: (a) general explanatory guidelines that outline the principles of fostering creativity (WHAT?) and, (b) specific implementation guidelines that detail the creation of practical activities to achieve the desired outcome (HOW?). A creative problem-solving exercise described in this paper and serves as an example of how to translate the explanatory guidelines into concrete action. The exercise addresses each of Sternberg’s (2007) “12 keys for developing the creativity habit in children” (p.8) in a manner that can be replicated or applied to new problems. The study described also presents statistical evidence from a small-scale, pilot study to support the hypothesis that the exercise can lead to an increase in measured creativity in participants.

Examining the Relationship between Mental Health, Creative Thought, and Optimism

Diem H. Le,David H. Cropley,David H. Gleaves 대한사고개발학회 2015 The International Journal of Creativity & Problem Vol.25 No.1
We investigated the relationship between mental health, creative thought, and optimism. Sixty-six young adults, aged between 18 and 30, completed measures of creativity (TCT-DP), dispositional optimism (LOT-R), mental health (DASS-21) and negative emotional states (DASS-21). Analyses indicated moderate positive correlations between creative thinking, mental health, and optimism. In addition, optimism was found to be negatively associated with the negative emotional states of depression and anxiety, however not with stress. No statistically significant correlation was found between creativity and the negative emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress. The results suggest that mentally healthy individuals have the essential tools for coping with stressful situations and maintaining a positive outlook on life. This type of effective stress management requires the individual to remain flexible and creative at all times. The findings represent an important contribution for understanding the benefits of maintaining, or fostering, creative thinking, mental health, and optimism.

Correlates of Creativity among Visual Art Students

Chiara Simone Haller,Delphine Sophie Courvoisier,David H. Cropley 대한사고개발학회 2010 The International Journal of Creativity & Problem Vol.20 No.1
The present study analyzes differences in functional creativity among visual art students in their year of assessment, according to the Revised Functional Creativity Scale (Haller, Courvoisier, & Cropley, 2009) originally published by Cropley (2005). The products of 55 art students of two different schools were rated by ten experts (five art instructors at each school) according to their usual grading criteria. The same experts plus five novices then completed a questionnaire developed according to the indicators of creativity spelled out in this paper. Furthermore personality profiles, thinking styles, complexity, and intelligence of the students were measured with the German version of the NEO-Five-Factor-Inventory (NEO-FFI) of Costa and McCrae (1992), by Borkenau and Ostendorf (1993), the Heuristic questionnaire of Groner and Groner (1990), and the Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) sets A, B, C, D and E of Raven (1976). Results showed that there are personality profiles, thinking styles, and complexities which can be seen as predictors of functional creativity. However, different predictors were significant for different groups (all raters, expert raters only, novice raters only). The results show that the Revised Functional Creativity Scale as applied by Haller, Courvoisier, and Cropley (2009) does not yet measure functional creativity with the necessary degree of objectivity.
