“…Findings in this line of research appear controversial and puzzling. While many empirical investigations have reported no significant differences in creative performances of females and males (Ayyıldız-Potur & Barkul, 2009;Charyton & Snelbecker, 2007;Kaufman, 2006;Kogan, 1974), a substantial number of studies have indicated differences in creativity scores of females and males (Anwar, Shamim-urRasool, & Haq, 2012;Awamleh, Al Farah, & El-Zraigat, 2012;DeMoss, Milich, & DeMers, 1993;Hong, Peng, O'Neil, & Wu, 2013;Kousoulas & Mega, 2009;Stephens, Karnes, & Whorton, 2001;He, Wong, Li, & Xu, 2013;Stoltzfus, Nibbelink, Vredenburg, & Thyrum, 2011).…”

This study explored the relationship between processing speed and five dimensions of creativity, which were fluency, originality, elaboration, abstractness of titles, and resistance to premature closure (RPC). It is the first empirical study that examines this relationship, also relating it to gender and level of giftedness. Data came from 133 gifted students at grades one through four in three private schools in Istanbul, Turkey. Creativity was measured through the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking -Figural. Scores from the Coding subtest of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children were used as the data on processing speed. The findings showed that girls had significantly higher scores in processing speed, elaboration, abstractness of titles, and RPC. There were no significant differences in fluency and originality. While fluency and originality were the only two subscores correlated with processing speed for boys (both positively correlated), four subscores were correlated with processing speed for girls (all four negatively correlated). Girls had higher processing speed scores in the group of low giftedness, but not in the group of high giftedness. A distinct finding about the boys of high giftedness was the high positive interrelationships among originality, fluency, and processing speed, which were not there for boys of low giftedness or girls of high giftedness. With its findings, the study supports some of the previous explanations around the topic, and generates new hypotheses to be tested experimentally.

“…Generally, research studies have failed to uncover consistent gender differences on measures of divergent thinking, so high-achieving male and female adolescents would be expected to perform similarly on a measure of creativity (Torrance, 1981). Nevertheless, socialization experiences along with sex role stereotypes may interfere with ultimate creative productivity (Kogan, 1974).…”

The present study examined the relationship among gender, creativity, depression, and attributional style among high-achieving adolescents. One hundred twenty-eight eighth- and ninth-grade high-achieving students completed the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT), the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), and the Children's Attribution Style Questionnaire--Revised (KASTAN-R CASQ). The results indicate that there were gender differences only on the verbal component of the TTCT, with females scoring significantly higher. For both sexes, there was a significant relationship between figural creativity and a depressogenic attributional style. However, for females, high verbal creativity was associated with low levels of depression and a positive attributional style.

“…[2]- [3]. The history of gender studies in the literature of creativity dates back to 1976 and the study of Kogan (1974). He believed that if a behavioral scientist claims that a genus of another is more creative, he will encounter a mass of critics, and adds the caution that there is a relative equality between men and women in terms of creativity.…”
