创造力评估通常使用开放式发散思维任务。然而,这些任务的典型评分方法(独特性评分和主观评分)是时间密集型的,因此研究人员将发散思维作为辅助结构是不切实际的。本研究评估了发散思维任务的快照评分,其中一组反应得到一个单一的整体评级。我们比较了快照评分和前两名评分,这是一种耗时的详细评分方法。样本的大学生(n = 226)完成了发散性思维的任务和个性和艺术专业知识的措施。前两个评分的效应量较大,但快照评分总体表现良好。因此,快照评分似乎是一种快速而简单的评估创造力的方法。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Creativity assessment commonly uses open-ended divergent thinking tasks. The typical methods for scoring these tasks (uniqueness scoring and subjective ratings) are time-intensive, however, so it is impractical for researchers to include divergent thinking as an ancillary construct. The present research evaluated snapshot scoring of divergent thinking tasks, in which the set of responses receives a single holistic rating. We compared snapshot scoring to top-two scoring, a time-intensive, detailed scoring method. A sample of college students (n = 226) completed divergent thinking tasks and measures of personality and art expertise. Top-two scoring had larger effect sizes, but snapshot scoring performed well overall. Snapshot scoring thus appears promising as a quick and simple approach to assessing creativity.
