本研究通过理解创造性任务的特征和参与者对任务的反应来解决创造力领域特异性的问题。参与者（N = 187）被要求解决3个现实的日常问题中的1个。这些问题在复杂性、参与性和基于问题的有效性方面有所不同。对问题的解决方案进行了几项创造性的评估。结果表明，创造性受所解决问题类型和评价解决方案的创造性度量的影响。此外，这些结果是在控制能力的影响后得到的。结果表明，并非所有现实世界的问题都是相同的，研究人员需要调查对不同问题的反应和所使用的创造力指数如何影响创造性解决问题的结论。
This study addresses the issue of domain specificity within creativity by understanding the characteristics of creative tasks and how participants react to the task. Participants (N = 187) were given I of 3 realistic everyday problems to solve. The problems differed in terms of complexity, involvement, and problem-based efficacy. Problem solutions were evaluated on several measures of creativity. Results indicate that, creativity was influenced by the type of problem solved and the measure of creativity used to evaluate the solution. Furthermore, these results were obtained after controlling for the effect of ability. Results imply that not all real-world problems are equivalent and that researchers need to investigate how reactions to different problems and the creativity index used may influence conclusions regarding creative problem solving.
