“…These relationships are assumed to be unequal and complementary (Fan, 2002;Herr, 2003;Hwang, 2001). Confucianism presumes age-related hierarchy that values respect for older people, and age is presumed to correlate with wisdom, respect, and power (Bae & Orlinsky, 2006). The hierarchy also regulates men above women, and teachers above students.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine differences in creative styles and Confucian ideas between Koreans and Americans and to examine the relationship between creativity and Confucianism. A total number of 579 educators (227 American and 352 Korean) participated in this study. Eastern-Western Perspective Scale was used to measure participants' level of Confucianism and the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking-Figural was used to measure participants' level of creative potential. The results indicate that Koreans have strikingly more Confucian ideals than Americans, whereas Americans have more creative strengths and are more adaptively creative than Koreans. The results also indicate higher levels of Confucianism relate to lower levels of creativity. The Confucian elements that show negative relationships with creativity are suppression of expression, gender inequality, gender role expectations, and filial piety.Multiple factors influence the creativity of a single individual. Although some factors affecting creativity are unique to an individual, most factors affecting creativity have a relationship to a person's macrocosm, including intrapersonal or social factors such as the environment or culture in which that person exists (Ivcevic, 2009;K. H. Kim, 2007). Thus, a focus on enhancement of an individual's personal domain and creativity skills is insufficient to enhance overall creativity if the individual's cultural setting does not foster creative growth and expression. Many cross-cultural studies illustrate the interaction of culture and creativity (e.g., Lim &

Background: People suffering from acute psychosocial crises often require immediate help. To supplement existing institutions and services, a counseling program ("Hel.p") was founded; this study evaluates that program following a two-year trial period. Methods:The program offered anonymous, free-of-charge appointments to the public conducted by consultants holding, at minimum, a bachelor's degree in social work. Supervised by a judge and a psychologist, client-centered counseling sessions were conducted each week.Results: Thirty-five counselors counseled 70 people. The clients were 37.6 +/-18.4 years old and mostly female (67.1%). The counseling topics included health and diseases (16.1%) and general family problems (11.3%). The majority of the sessions (63.5%) took place during acute psychosocial crises.Conclusions: "Hel.p" functions as a supplement to established outreach clinics for people with acute psychosocial crises. It bridges the gap between individuals' acute psychosocial problems and the delayed psychiatric/psychotherapeutic treatment caused by resource restrictions in the health care system.
