An Ecological Approach to Creativity Research: Profiling for Creative Problem Solving

Understanding the Effects of Cognition in Creative Decision Making: A Creativity Model for Enhancing the Design Studio Process

“…Each assessment sheet is composed of a number of components such as originality, sensitivity, or negativity. The behavioral characteristics that made up each of these components were derived from previous research and literature, and set up as oppositional phrases (Albert, 1990;Bailin, 1994;Barron, 1988;Beattie, 2000;Candy & Edmonds, 1999;Cropley, 1999;Dorst & Cross, 2001;Feldhusen, 1993;Guilford, 1968;Hasirci & Demirkan, 2003;Isaksen, Puccio, & Treffinger, 1993;O'Neill & Shallcross, 1994). The observation of the person was carried out throughout the single day on which the task was given.…”

“…The second process assessment was used to determine the stages of creative problem solving and the duration of each stage. The behavioral characteristics that determine each stage were derived from previous research and literature (Bailin, 1994;Beattie, 2000;Candy & Edmonds, 1999;Cropley, 1999;Dacey, 1989;Dorst & Cross, 2001;Feldhusen, 1993;Guilford, 1968;Isaksen, Puccio, et al, 1993;O'Neill & Shallcross, 1994). Certain behavior patterns are expected to occur at each stage, which also define the ending of one stage and the beginning of the other.…”

Understanding individual problem-solving style: A key to learning and applying creative problem solving

“…For nearly two decades, however, we have focused our research and development efforts on extending and enhancing the effectiveness and power of CPS by recognizing and incorporating the importance of personal characteristics, styles, and context in effective CPS applications. The question of "what works best, for whom, and under what conditions" led us to examine the nature and role of profiling for CPS (e.g., Isaksen, Puccio, & Treffinger, 1993) and to study the interactions of person and process in new ways. These efforts are consistent with other researchers' work to study individual differences in creativity and to highlight the importance of an interactionist perspective (e.g., Woodman, Sawyer, & Griffin, 1993;Woodman & Schoenfelt, 1989, 1990.…”

The effect of negotiator creativity on negotiation outcomes in a bilateral negotiation

“…This notwithstanding the fact that creativity, as a multifaceted phenomenon, is complex and has many elements that interact on its manifestation (Isaksen, Puccio, & Treffinger, 1993),…”
