Abstract

Creativity is a multifaceted construct that can be defined both in terms of process (e.g.,divergent thinking) and product (e.g., a poem). Across years, it has been related to different cognitive and personality variables, including cognitive styles. The current systematic review aimed to summarize the literature on the relationships between field dependence–independence and creativity, considering both the creative process and creative production approaches. We selected eight studies using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses rules. Findings revealed that a consistent number of studies focused on creative process mainly in terms of divergent thinking instead of convergent thinking, also providing misleading results. Additionally, only two studies focused on creative production, showing that field independents were more creative than field dependents. Given the contradictory results and the paucity of studies, we concluded that the association between field dependence–independence and creativity needs to be further investigated by more accurate empirical explorations. Limitations and future research directions are discussed.

过程与产品导向视角下的场域独立认知风格与创造力&系统综述

创造力是一种多方面的结构，既可以从过程（如发散思维）的角度定义，也可以从产品（如诗歌）的角度来定义。多年来，它与不同的认知和人格变量有关，包括认知风格。目前的系统综述旨在总结关于领域依赖性、独立性和创造性之间关系的文献，同时考虑创造性过程和创造性生产方法。我们选择了八项使用系统评价首选报告项目和荟萃分析规则的研究。研究结果表明，大量研究主要从发散思维而非趋同思维的角度关注创造性过程，也提供了误导性的结果。此外，只有两项研究关注创造性生产，表明独立领域的人比依赖领域的人更有创造力。鉴于相互矛盾的结果和研究的匮乏，我们得出结论，需要通过更准确的实证探索来进一步研究领域依赖性、独立性和创造力之间的联系。讨论了研究的局限性和未来的研究方向。
