“…The model hypothesized that these three latent variables would be correlated for Chinese adolescents, but the results provide no evidence of such correlations. Indeed, the negative correlations between the three latent variables confirm previous research with Western samples on orthogonal nature of creative personality traits (e.g., Csikszentmihalyi, 1996;Shelby, Shaw, & Houtz, 2005).…”

“…We hypothesize that, since the arts field is connected to arts and design, it may provide experiences to its students that enable them to develop more creative works related to the visual and plastic arts. Past works also mentioned the close relationship between the creative environment and product (Ekvall, 1999;Isaksen & Lauer, 2002;Kumiega, 1992;Miranda & Almeida, 2008;Scritchfield, 1999;Selby, Shaw, & Houtz, 2005).…”

Creativity is a highly complex concept, studied through different perspectives and evaluated by numerous instruments. Despite its conceptual and methodological diversity, the Rhodes' multidimensional theory continues to be one of the main references in the study of creativity. Based on this theory, this study intended to observe the impact of the creative environment on the creative person, process, and product through a sample of 215 college students. Results suggest a significant influence from the creative environment on the creative process and product. Participants from the social sciences and arts performed better on the creative process and product, respectively. No statistically significant interaction effects were found regarding gender and the creative environment. However, age presents a control effect over the relationship between the creative environment and the plastic arts. Practical and educative implications are discussed. Keywords: creativity; creative environment; creative person; creative process; creative product. RESUMO -O impacto do ambiente criativo na pessoa, processo e produto criativoA criatividade é um conceito complexo que tem sido abordado segundo diversas perspetivas teóricas e múltiplos instrumentos de avaliação. Não obstante, a diversidade conceptual e metodológica existente, a teoria multidimensional de Rhodes continua a ser uma das principais referências para o seu estudo. Com base nessa teoria, este estudo observa o impacto do ambiente criativo na pessoa, no processo e no produto criativo, numa amostra de 215 estudantes universitários. Os resultados indicam uma influência significativa do ambiente criativo sobre o processo e produto criativo. Os participantes das ciências sociais e artes obtiveram valores superiores nas dimensões Processo criativo e Produto criativo, respetivamente. Não foram encontrados efeitos de interação significativos entre o gênero e ambiente criativo, contudo a idade apresenta um efeito interativo na relação entre o ambiente e as artes plásticas. Implicações práticas e educativas são discutidas. Palavras-chave: criatividade; ambiente criativo; pessoa criativa; processo criativo; produto criativo.RESUMEN -El impacto del ambiente creativo en la persona, processo y produto creativo La creatividad es un concepto complejo que se ha abordado desde diferentes perspectivas teóricas y múltiples herramientas de evaluación.

“…Openness to experience is one of five major domains, which are used to describe the human personality, namely an active imagination, aesthetic sensitivity, attentiveness to inner feelings, preference for variety and intellectual curiosity (Costa and McCrae 1992). Lists of the attitudinal characteristics of creative people are plentiful (Barron and Harrington 1981;Feist 1999;McCrea 1987;Selby et al 2005;Simonton 1997;Treffinger et al 2002). These lists overlap, and their contents make up openness to experience.…”

Do honors students have more potential for excellence in their professional lives?

Universities in many countries increasingly value talent, and do so by developing special honors programs for their top students. The selection process for these programs often relies on the students' prior achievements in school. Research has shown, however, that school grades do not sufficiently predict academic success. According to Renzulli's (1986) three-ring model, student characteristics relating to intelligence, motivation and creativity are the most important predictors of excellent achievements in professional life. In this paper, we will investigate whether honors students differ from non-honors students in terms of these characteristics. By means of a questionnaire, more than 1,100 honors and non-honors students at Utrecht University were asked to assess themselves on six characteristics: intelligence, creative thinking, openness to experience, the desire to learn, persistence, and the drive to excel. The results showed that the honors students differed significantly from the non-honors students in terms of the combined variables as well as for the separate variables, with the exception of 'persistence'. The strongest distinguishing factors between honors and non-honors students appeared to be the desire to learn, the drive to excel and creativity, whilst there was little difference in terms of intelligence and persistence. However, the profiles of these differences varied according to the study program. While Law and Humanities honors students differed from their nonhonors peers in terms of their drive to excel, Physics honors students were primarily more eager to learn than their non-honors peers, while the LA&S honors students scored higher on creative thinking than non-honors students.
