Plucker, Jonathan A.; Qian, Meihua; Schmalensee, Stephanie L. – Creativity Research Journal, 2014
In recent years, the social sciences have seen a resurgence in the study of divergent thinking (DT) measures. However, many of these recent advances have focused on abstract, decontextualized DT tasks (e.g., list as many things as you can think of that have wheels). This study provides a new perspective by exploring the reliability and validity…
