An Exploratory Study of Investigating the Creative Potential of Taiwanese Children
Abstract: The question
of whether creativity
should be viewed
as domain-general or
domain-specific, and unidimensional or
multidimensional, have led to a
vibrant discussion among
students of creativity. Following a reviewing of the
relevant literature, it was
decided that the present study would focus its investigation of the creative
potential of Taiwanese students on verbal and visual creative abilities. Three major
findings were found: first, that the relationship between verbal and visual
creativity was moderate and significant, while the relationship between
ideational behavior, on the one hand, and verbal creativity and visual
creativity, on the other, was weak and non-significant. Second, as illustrated
by our perceptual map, it appears that verbal and visual creativity are
different constructs, which might tend to support the domain-specific theory of
creativity. Finally, gender did not function as a moderator between verbal and visual
creativity.
