“…Divergent thinking is closely related to creative abilities (Kraft, 2005;Wang et al, 2017). In a survey by Campbell et al (2015), 86.6% of fieldwork educators listed creativity as an essential professional attribute for success in a fieldwork placement, and that number rose to 95% if the fieldwork placement was in a pediatric setting.…”

“…Divergent thinking, with its ties to creativity, is needed to generate treatment ideas and solutions to clinical problems. Creativity, the process of exploring diverse possible solutions and generating original ideas through divergent thinking (Kraft, 2005;Wang et al, 2017), has been shown to be a part of everyday OT practice for both clinical reasoning and the generation of treatment activities (Schmid, 2004).…”

“…That person, perhaps, is a divergent thinker. Divergent thinking is the cognitive process of generating alternative ideas or possible solutions to problems (Wang, Hao, Ku, Grabner, & Fink, 2017). Divergent thinking involves fluency, flexibility, and originality of ideas (Hass, 2017).…”

“…creative, more open to new ideas, process more sensory information, and even have better visual perceptual skills (Chrysikou, 2012;Kraft, 2005;Wang et al, 2017). The characteristics of divergent thinkers include thought processes that are more fluent, varied, flexible, original, and elaborative (Kraft, 2005).…”

“…Though not a perfect proxy for creativity, for over 60 years, divergent thinking tasks have commonly served as the operational definition of choice for many creativity researchers. This is becoming increasingly common in the burgeoning neuroscience literature on creativity (e.g., Benedek et al, 2014;Madore et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2017;Beaty et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2018;Vartanian et al, 2018). Though some scoring methods are straightfoward (e.g., fluency), there is considerable disagreement about how to quantify "originality, " "creativity, " or "novelty, " of the responses themselves.…”

A new system for subjective rating of responses to divergent thinking tasks was tested using raters recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk. The rationale for the study was to determine if such raters could provide reliable (aka generalizable) ratings from the perspective of generalizability theory. To promote reliability across the Alternative Uses and Consequence task prompts often used by researchers as measures of Divergent Thinking, two parallel scales were developed to facilitate feasibility and validity of ratings performed by laypeople. Generalizability and dependability studies were conducted separately for two scoring systems: the average-rating system and the snapshot system. Results showed that it is difficult to achieve adequate reliability using the snapshot system, while good reliability can be achieved on both task families using the average-rating system and a specific number of items and raters. Additionally, the construct validity of the average-rating system is generally good, with less validity for certain Consequences items. Recommendations for researchers wishing to adopt the new scales are discussed, along with broader issues of generalizability of subjective creativity ratings.

Linguistic Relativity in Creative Thought: How Divergent Thinking in Response to Motion Events is Influenced by Satellite‐ and Verb‐Framed Languages

Human creativity and ingenuity partly depend on divergent thinking – the ability to generate many varied, original, and elaborate responses. Prior research has found ample evidence of an effect of cognitive factors, including the organization of semantic networks and associative ability, on divergent thinking. Less is known, however, about how the language we speak shapes this relationship. Specifically, the linguistic relativity hypothesis stresses the influence of a linguistic variation on structural semantic representations that are essential for generating associations. To address this open scientific problem, an experiment with several tasks was conducted (n = 122). The category discrimination task replicated the linguistic relativity effect of satellite‐framed (e.g., English) versus verb‐framed languages (e.g., Spanish), by showing how English monolinguals, when exposed to motion events, were more attentive to the manner of motion than Spanish monolinguals. The free association task showed, in the same sample, that divergent thinking in response to motion events led English monolinguals to generate more elaborate responses than Spanish monolinguals. Linguistic relativity mediated this effect. No effect was found on the number, diversity, or originality of the responses. These findings contribute new insights into the relationship between linguistic relativity and divergent thinking in response to motion events.
