Do Time Press, Stimulus, and Creative Prompt Influence the Divergent Production of Undergraduate Students? Yes, Yes, and No, Not Very Much.

Journal of Creative Behavior, v35 n2 p102-14 2nd Qtr 2001

This study examined the influence of time press, specific stimulus, and type of creativity prompt on fluency and flexibility scores of 75 undergraduates. Results suggest that time press has a strong, and typically linear influence on both fluency and flexibility scores. A significant difference across stimuli was observed for flexibility, but not for fluency. Prompts had an insignificant effect. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
