A total of 182 undergraduate students from China and the United States participated in a study examining the presence of stereotypical perceptions regarding creativity and deductive reasoning abilities, as well as the influence of stereotype on participants' performance on deductive reasoning and creativity in nonverbal form. The results showed that participants from both China and the United States believed that Americans have better creativity abilities than Chinese and that Chinese have better deductive reasoning skills than Americans. Significant cultural difference in the performances on the measures of creativity was found. The cultural difference in deductive reasoning was found between Chinese participants in China and the Caucasian (not the Asian) participants in the United States, which were somewhat congruent to the stereotypical perceptions. However, the study did not find that stereotypic perceptions directly influenced participants' performance on deductive reasoning and creativity.

“…Based upon this rationale and time limitation, only integrated science process skills were used for measurement. The original TIPSII had 36 questions to evaluate students' abilities in hypothesizing, identifying variables, operationally defining, designing investigations, and graphing and interpreting data (Mattheis, 1985). The test was translated into a Chinese version with validation completed by Hsu and Lin (1986).…”

“…In line with this view, deductive reasoning is often used as a marker of general analytical skills or intelligence (Yang & Johnson-Laird, 2001). Some empirical studies have shown that students from East Asian countries have often outperformed their American counterparts in tests that required general analytical skills (e.g., Mattheis, Spooner, Coble, Takemura, Matsumoto, Matsumoto, & Yoshida, 1992). However, there is also counter evidence suggesting that cultural influence on deductive reasoning may be largely attributed to curricular emphasis of different cultures.…”

Deductive Reasoning and Creativity: A Cross-Cultural Study

The present cross-cultural study examined the relationship between deductive reasoning and creativity among college students (M age=20.4 yr., SD= .6) from Hong Kong (n=39) and the United States (n=38). Participants performed tasks designed to measure deductive reasoning, creative writing, and insight problem-solving, all in verbal form. No correlation was found between the performance for deductive reasoning and creativity as measured by creative writing. Insight problem-solving performance correlated significantly with that for both reasoning and creativity. Significant cultural differences favoring the American participants were only found on the creative writing and insight problem-solving tasks, both of which supposedly involve creative thinking. There seems to be cultural dependence for creativity but not for deductive reasoning which suggests a qualification of a strong cultural-relevance view positing pervasive cultural influences on human thinking processes.
