Primary Outcomes (End Points) Creativity as measured through Guilford's Alternative Uses Task Useful Creativity as measured by expert judges Creativity as measured through Guilford's Alternative Uses Task: (1) novelty of ideas as rated by judges, (2) usefulness of ideas as rated by judges, (3) creativity as a composite of novelty and usefulness, and (3) total number of generated ideas in each task. Useful Creativity of generated ideas, as measured by expert judges when participants are given a creative task (helping a band sell albums)
Primary Outcomes (Explanation) Results of the alternative uses test are based on four criteria: Fluency – the number of alternative uses Originality – how unusual the ideas are Flexibility – the range of ideas Elaboration – level of detail Useful creativity is measured by getting an expert judge or group of judges in a field to evaluate participant ideas. Evaluation technique will be similar to Study 3 in Grant, Adam M. and James W. Berry (2011), using the two criteria of novelty and usefulness. Grant, Adam M. and James W. Berry (2011), “The Necessity of Others is the Mother of Invention: Intrinsic and Prosocial Motivations, Perspective Taking, and Creativity,” Academy of Management Journal, 54 (1), 73–96. Results of the alternative uses test are based on multiple criteria: Fluency – the number of alternative uses generated Novelty– how novel the ideas are, as rated by two judges Usefulness– the usefulness of the generated ideas, as rated by two judges Useful creativity is measured by getting an expert judge or group of judges in a field to evaluate participant ideas.
