다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

One of the most controversial issues in the contemporary study of creativity is whether creativity is domain-general or domain-specific. The purpose of this study is to empirically examine this domain-specifity and the interaction of creativity and working styles. 45 kindergarteners` creative performances in three domains(writing poems, collage-making, inventing useful instruments) were measured by two raters according to the holistic and analytic criteria. Children`s 5 types of working styles(easily engaged, interest, attentive, reflective, interactive)were observed and rated with 5-point scales. Finally, to examine the relationship between product-based assessment and the traditional creative thinking test, based on the domain-general concept, TTCT was individually administered. The finding of this study support creativity and working styles in young children are rather domain-specific and there is interaction between creative performance and their working styles. This study implies the limitation of predicting children`s creativity with traditional creative thinking test and information of children`s working styles makes it possible to better understand their creative performance.
