Abstract Research on gender differences in creativity, including creativity test scores, creative achievements, and self‐reported is reviewed, as are theories that have been offered to explain such available evidence supports or refutes theories. This a difficult arena which conduct research, but there consistent lack of both scores the accomplishments boys girls (which if anything tend favor girls). As result, it show how innate could possibly later accomplishment. At same time, large...
Abstract For many years creativity researchers assumed that was rooted in general, domain-transcending skills or traits. A growing body of evidence suggests creative performance is domain specific. This has led both to changes thinking about the nature and a reexamination previous assumptions generality creativity. More research needed settle this issue; until then, trainers would be wise assume assumption, even if incorrect, less likely nullify their efforts than assumption content generality.
One of the most contentious areas in creativity theory is question domain specificity. How we conceptualize — as something that transcends content domains, or varies depending on has important implications for both research and training programs. The Amusement Park Theoretical (APT) model first to successfully bridge gap between these contrasting views creativity. APT uses metaphor an amusement park explore There are four stages: Initial requirements, general thematic areas, micro‐domains....
The Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT) is one of the most highly regarded assessment tools in creativity, but it often difficult and/or expensive to assemble teams experts required by CAT. Some researchers have tried using nonexpert raters their place, validity replacing with nonexperts has not been adequately tested. Expert (n = 10) and 106) creativity ratings 205 poems were compared found be quite different, making simple replacement suspect. Nonexpert raters' judgments inconsistent...
The Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT) is a common creativity assessment. According to this technique, the best judges of are qualified experts. Yet what does it mean be an expert in domain? What level expertise needed rate creativity? This article reviews literature on novice, expert, and quasi-expert ratings. Although current research indicates that novices may poor choices CAT raters, quasi-experts represent compromise between ideal scientific rigor practical time budget restrictions....
Abstract This manifesto, discussed by 20 scholars, representing diverse lines of creativity research, marks a conceptual shift within the field. Socio‐cultural approaches have made substantial contributions to concept over recent decades and today can provide set propositions guide our understanding past research generate new directions inquiry practice. These are urgently needed in response transition from Information Society Post‐Information Society. Through outlined here, we aim build...
Abstract A growing body of research evidence suggests that creativity is very domain‐specific and domain‐general skills or traits contribute little to creative performance. The term “creativity” a convenient for collecting many interesting artifacts, processes, people into single category, the “creative thinking skills” may be useful way connect diverse set unrelated cognitive processes operate on different content in domains. These concepts are misleading, however, because although they...
Although creativity and expertise are related, they nonetheless very different things. Expertise does not usually require creativity, but generally a certain level of expertise. There similarities in the relationships both to domains, however. Research has shown that just as one domain predict other, unrelated domains. People may be expert, people creative, many or few domains none at all, cannot simply transfer expertise, from another, domain. The specificity matters crucially for training,...
Tumors employ multiple mechanisms to evade immune surveillance. One mechanism is tumor-induced myelopoiesis, whereby the expansion of immunosuppressive myeloid cells can impair tumor immunity. As and conventional dendritic (cDCs) are derived from same progenitors, we postulated that myelopoiesis might impact cDC development. The subset, cDC1, which includes human CD141+ DCs mouse CD103+ DCs, supports anti-tumor immunity by stimulating CD8+ T-cell responses. Here, understand how cDC1...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a lethal disease with limited treatment options and poor survival. We studied 83 spatial samples from 31 patients (11 treatment-naïve 20 treated) using single-cell/nucleus RNA sequencing, bulk-proteogenomics, transcriptomics cellular imaging. Subpopulations of tumor cells exhibited signatures proliferation, KRAS signaling, cell stress epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Mapping mutations copy number events distinguished populations normal transitional...
Abstract The tumor microenvironment (TME) profoundly influences tumorigenesis, with gene expression in the breast TME capable of predicting clinical outcomes. is complex and includes distinct cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) subtypes whose contribution to tumorigenesis remains unclear. Here, we identify a subset myofibroblast CAFs (myCAF) that are senescent (senCAF) mouse human tumors. Utilizing MMTV-PyMT;INK-ATTAC (INK) model, found senCAF-secreted extracellular matrix specifically limits...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) therapeutic resistance is largely attributed to a unique tumor microenvironment embedded with an abundance of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF). Distinct CAF populations were recently identified, but the phenotypic drivers and specific impact heterogeneity remain unclear. In this study, we identify subpopulation senescent myofibroblastic CAFs (SenCAF) in mouse human PDAC. These SenCAFs are phenotypically distinct subset that localize near ducts...
The consensual technique for assessing creativity is widely used in research, but its validation has been limited to the of artifacts produced under tightly constrained experimental conditions. Typically, only response very similar instructions have compared. This allowed researchers compare such things as effects different motivational conditions on creative performance, it not many other kinds comparisons. It also use gathered specific purposes, opposed already-existing less controlled For...
The degree to which creativity is domain-specific or domain-general remains hotly contested, but there at least one area of agreement: people have different profiles. In this study, we asked 241 students give self-ratings their in domains. These ratings were then studied for inter-correlations. We also examined how such self-assessments diverse domains relate other measures cognitive ability and as measured with a personality scale. general, if viewed themselves generally creative, they...
Several thousand subjects completed self‐report questionnaires about their own creativity in 56 discrete domains. This sample was then randomly divided into three subsamples that were subject to factor analyses compared an oblique model (with a set of correlated factors) and hierarchical single second‐order, or hierarchical, subsuming all the first order factors). After refinement, both models tested on confirmation sample. The had better fit with data than model, providing support for...
The Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT) argues that the most valid judgments of creativity are those combined opinions experts in field. Yet who exactly qualifies as an expert to evaluate a creative product such short story? This study examines both novice and student fiction. Results indicate need for caution using non‐expert raters. Although there was only small (but statistically significant) difference between experts' novices' mean ratings, correlation two sets ratings just .71....
Abstract: Twenty‐one second‐grade subjects received divergent‐thinking training and 20 matched in solving mathematical word problems. All were then given five tasks: telling stories, writing poems, problems, making collages. Experts evaluated the creativity of each product. The groups scored significantly higher than controls on story‐telling, story‐writing, poetry‐writing tasks. lack correlations among scores tasks, however, suggests that several task‐specific factors, rather one general...
ABSTRACT Although there is a growing body of evidence indicating that divergent‐thinking skills may be very task specific, has been no research testing how narrowly training can targeted. Seventy‐nine seventh‐grade students received in poetry‐relevant skills. These subjects and matched control group later wrote poems stories, the creativity which was judged by experts. There significantly greater impact on poetry‐writing creativity. Implications for theory programs are discussed. Numerous...
What is the role of expertise in evaluating creative products? Novices and experts do not assess creativity similarly, indicating domain-specific knowledge’s judging creativity. We describe two studies that examined how “quasi-experts” (people who have more experience a domain than novices but also lack recognized standing as experts) compared with rating work. In Study 1, we different types quasi-experts short stories. 2, experts, quasi-experts, an engineering product (a mousetrap design)....
