The goal of the current study was to extend this research and to examine the influence of international experiences on creativity in a special group of innovators and persistent creators: 146 Nobel laureates who received the prize between 2008 and 2020. Quantitative biographic analyses showed that 42 % of the Nobel laureates had either moved or traveled extensively with their families during their childhood, 24 % had studied in a country different from their home country, 25 % moved to another country after their Ph.D. to start their career at a university, and 36 % married a partner from a different country than their own. The data revealed that Nobel laureates did not have more international experiences than a comparison group of 180, non-Nobel Laureate, professors from top universities worldwide. Qualitative analyses of Nobel laureates’ speeches, using the phenomenological research method, revealed the following seven themes: (1) Belonging to a multicultural family, (2) fostering curiosity by the family, (3) learning foreign languages, (4) pursuing independence and academic freedom, (5) navigating between cultural worlds, (6) traveling as an eye-opening experience, and (7) embracing cultural differences. These findings show that Nobel laureates and the comparison group have had significant international experiences. Specifically for Nobel laureates, their accounts of these international experiences, alongside the breadth of different worldviews, customs, and norms experienced in different cultures impacted their scientific work so much so as to contribute to their creative ideas and limitless potential.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"35 1","pages":"Article 100093"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143145817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our protocol involved 136 engineering students divided into 34 groups which were provided with inspirational cubes illustrating manufacturing inventive principles or basic volumes from the Creative Mental Synthesis Task. They could manipulate these objects either in a visuo-haptic condition, or in a visuo-imaginative condition. Our results highlighted a main effect of manipulation, showing that visual-haptic condition led to higher creativity than visual-imaginative condition. We also observed several effects in favor of inspirational cubes with regard to basic volumes: significantly higher creativity, more subjective and inter-subjective facilitation behaviors, more cognitive and emotional operations. Participants also showed at an individual level a better mobilization of the multisensorial senses.

Fourteen university students generated ideas for both function-first and form-first creative tasks in interaction with ChatGPT. Their 591 turns were analyzed using both self-reports and coded transcripts to categorize cognitive strategies such as conceptual combination, inspiration, improvement, and repetition. The results indicated that students less frequently employ cognitive strategies focusing on human-AI interaction (e.g., inspiration, improve, combine), but that most of the ideas were produced by repeating ChatGPT's idea. This tendency suggests that, when given freedom, students may rely heavily on AI-generated suggestions rather than actively engaging in more complex cognitive processes. A key practical implication of these findings is the importance of educating students on different cognitive strategies they can adopt in collaboration with AI tools. By guiding students to employ more diverse and active cognitive strategies, ChatGPT has the potential to become a more effective tool for enhancing creative thinking in higher education.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"35 1","pages":"Article 100095"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143420185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the last two decades, sports studies have predominantly assumed that divergent thinking (DT) is the key ingredient and have developed sport-specific DT tests to assess players’ creativity. However, a fundamental question remains: Do players who score high on sport-specific DT tests perform more creative actions on the field? The DT approach in sports has recently been challenged by the hypothesis that creative actions are primarily enabled (or limited) by players’ motor skill repertoires. Here, predictions based on the DT and motor skill approach are tested in the domain of soccer. Studies 1a and b tested male under-12 players, and Study 2 tested female under-19 players of a professional soccer club. All three studies indicated no correlation between the creativity of actions performed on the field (rated with the Consensual Assessment Technique) and players’ soccer-specific DT. In contrast, moderate to high correlations between on-field creativity and motor skills were found. These results challenge the DT approach in sports and the validity of sport-specific DT tests, highlighting the crucial role of sensorimotor skills in performing creative actions in sports or other domains in which creative performance is embodied through motor actions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"34 3","pages":"Article 100091"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142433645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Valid and reliable single-item measures to efficiently assess one's creativity level could allow researchers and educators with limited time and resources to use the simpler and shorter self-report item. This study's primary objective was to evaluate the construct validity of a single-item creative self-belief (CSB) measure by comparing it with AUT fluency, flexibility, elaboration, and originality scores that were scored using manual and automated methods. It also aimed to assess the single-item CSB's convergent validity and test-retest reliability. In addition, the relationship between the manual and automated AUT scoring methods was evaluated. Data from 1,179 adult participants collected in a more extensive parent study were used for these analyses. CSB was weakly correlated to manual fluency (<em>rho</em> = 0.13, <em>p</em> = 0.004, <em>n</em>-505) and manual originality (<em>rho</em> = 0.11, <em>p</em> = 0.01) but no other AUT measures. CSB was correlated with the personality indices of openness to experience (<em>rho</em> = 0.49, <em>p &lt;</em> <em>0</em>.001), extraversion (<em>rho</em> = 0.20, <em>p &lt;</em> <em>0</em>.001), neuroticism (<em>rho</em> = -0.20, <em>p &lt;</em> <em>0</em>.001), agreeableness (<em>rho</em> = 0.14, <em>p &lt;</em> <em>0</em>.001), and conscientiousness (<em>rho</em> = 0.14, <em>p &lt;</em> <em>0</em>.001). CSB test-retest reliability, assessed using entries from participants who completed two sessions, was high (Intraclass Correlation 78.6). The manual elaboration score was strongly correlated with the automated Open Creativity Scoring with Artificial Intelligence (OCSAI) elaboration score (<em>rho</em> = 0.76, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001), and manual originality scores were correlated with OCSAI originality scores but less strongly (<em>rho</em> = 0.21, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001). These findings support using multiple measures to assess aspects of the creative process, not relying solely on this single-item CSB measure. However, the single-item CSB item may be helpful in limited-time situations and has demonstrated positive content validity, test-retest reliability, and a significant, albeit weak, correlation to AUT fluency and originality. This study also supports the continued use of OCSAI to score elaboration and originality in AUT.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"34 3","pages":"Article 100088"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2713374524000141/pdfft?md5=6d5388c6d34eb946436b9192b5043aed&pid=1-s2.0-S2713374524000141-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141594161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
