Abstract

The measurement of everyday creative activities has been a widely applied measure of creativity in adult samples in order to investigate the relationship with creative potential and creative achievements. Despite the importance of creative activities for the development of achievements the assessment mostly focuses on adults. In the study at hand, we develop a questionnaire for adolescents and provide results regarding its structural, convergent, and predictive validity in a sample of n = 423 talented students from sixth and seventh grade. We show structural validity of the theoretically derived factor structure including six content domains (literature, handicrafts, fine arts, performing arts, music, and technology). Furthermore, we provide proof of convergent validity given the correlation of creative activities with divergent thinking as well as predictive validity regarding creative achievements. We discuss the findings in the light of previous studies including adult samples and summarize recommendations for the application of the measurement of creative activities in gifted students as well as in more general student populations.

介绍青少年创造性活动量表：一项适应与验证研究

日常创造性活动的测量是一种广泛应用于成人样本的创造性测量，以研究创造性潜力和创造性成就之间的关系。尽管创造性活动对成就的发展很重要，但评估主要集中在成年人身上。在本研究中，我们开发了一份青少年问卷，并在n = 423名六年级和七年级的天才学生样本中提供了其结构、收敛和预测效度的结果。我们展示了包括六个内容领域（文学、手工艺、美术、表演艺术、音乐和技术）的理论推导因子结构的结构有效性。此外，我们还提供了创造性活动与发散性思维相关的收敛效度证明，以及创造性成就的预测效度证明。我们根据以前的研究（包括成人样本）讨论了这些发现，并总结了在资优学生以及更一般的学生群体中应用创造性活动测量的建议。
