人们越来越认识到，创造潜力部分涉及一种泛化能力，部分涉及一套特定领域的能力，部分涉及一套特定于任务的能力。我们通过对482名儿童和青少年的研究对这一观点进行了扩展和说明，探索了S潜在创造力评价八个分测验的分数方差可以分解为五个方差成分：思维过程一般成分、思维过程特定成分、领域特定成分、任务特定成分和测量误差。从多性状多方法矩阵分析的扩展得到的结构方程模型表明：(1)每个方差分量的贡献很大程度上取决于所考虑的任务；(2)一般创造性思维-过程因素的贡献是总体有限的。这项研究概述了创造潜力的多维和层次结构，以及使用综合测试电池对其进行测量的必要性，并对一系列创造性任务、领域和创造性思维模式进行了抽样。(C)2016 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
It is increasingly acknowledged that creative potential involves partly a generalized ability, partly a set of domain specific abilities, and partly a set of task-specific abilities. We extend and illustrate this view in a study of 482 children and adolescents, exploring the extent to which the scores variance of the Evaluation of Potential Creativity (EPoC)'s eight subtests can be decomposed by five variance components: thinking-process general, thinking-process specific, domain-specific, task-specific, and measurement error. A structural equation model derived from an extension of the multi-trait multi-method matrix analysis revealed that (1) the contribution of each variance component depends greatly on the task under consideration, and that (2) the contribution of a general creative thinking-process factor is overall limited. This study outlines the multidimensional and hierarchical structure of creative potential and the need to measure it with comprehensive test batteries sampling a range of creative tasks, domains and creative thinking-modes.
