Abstract Details

2018, Master of Arts, Case Western Reserve University, Psychology.
An important question in the creativity field is how self-perceptions of creativity predict actual creative performance. This question has been studied in adults but rarely in children or adolescents. Creativity has been shown to relate to problem solving and coping. These skills are important in adolescence, an age characterized by new challenges and interpersonal conflict. In the present study, two measures of self-perceptions of creativity, the Runco Ideational Behavior Scale (RIBS) and the Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale (K-DOCS), and a measure of creative performance, the divergent thinking task, were administered to thirty-four adolescents in grades seven through eleven. It was hypothesized that both self-perception measures would be associated with performance on the divergent thinking task. A major finding was that the K-DOCS, but not the RIBS, predicted divergent thinking scores. Results provided support for use of the K-DOCS as a valid indicator of creative performance in this age group.
