“…The role of gender in creativity has been explored to determine not only if males and females differ in terms of creative ability (potential) or output (product), but also what factors contribute to the likely differences and whether these manifest differentially over the course of the lifetime, as suggested by recent studies (Bender, Nibbelink, Towner-Thyrum, & Vredenburg, 2013;Cheung & Lau, 2010;He & Wong, 2011;Hong & Milgram, 2010;Karwowski, Lebuda, Wisniewska, & Gralewski, 2013;Kaufman, Baer, Agars, & Loomis, 2010;Sayed & Mohamed, 2013;Stoltzfus, Nibbelink, Vredenburg, & Thyrum, 2011). Three astute reviews have been published on this theme Pagnani, 2011;Mark A. Runco, Cramond, & Pagnani, 2010), the insights of which are integrated and summarized below.…”

The topic of gender differences in creativity generates substantial scientific and public interest, but also courts considerable controversy. Owing to the heterogeneous nature of the findings associated with this line of research, the general picture often appears puzzling or obscure. The present article presents a selective overview of psychological and neuroscientific literature that has a relevant bearing on the theme of gender and creativity. Topics that are explored include the definition and methods of assessing creativity, a summary of behavioral investigations on gender in relation to creativity, postulations that have been forwarded to understand gender differences in creative achievement, gender-based differences in the structure and function of the brain, gender-related differences in behavioral performance on tasks of normative cognition, and neuroscientific studies of gender and creativity. The final section of the overview presents a detailed discussion of the idea that differences between men and women in creative cognition are best explained with reference to the gender-dependent adopted strategies or cognitive style when faced with generative tasks. Gender and Creativity 3Creativity refers to the singularly complex human ability to produce novel ideas, generate new solutions, and express oneself in a unique manner. Although prominent works of art and astounding scientific discoveries are the customary associations that are readily evoked when we consider the concept of creativity, our capacity to be creative is evident in virtually all aspects of human life when engaged in language and communication, choice and decision making, as well as planning and organization (Mark A. Runco & Pritzker, 2011;Sawyer, 2012). While the potential to be creative exists within each person, there is considerable individual variability in both the type and amount of creative output that is eventually produced over our lifetimes. A substantial proportion of the empirical investigations in creativity are directed at uncovering which variables have a positive or negative impact on creativity. Gender is one factor that has been explored in this regard within psychological research. This paper provides a general overview of psychological and neuroscientific research that has a direct or indirect bearing on the topic of gender and creativity. The first part of this paper is devoted to understanding what is meant by creativity in terms of definition and methods of assessment. This is followed by a summary of behavioral findings on gender-related differences in creative thinking and a discussion of the explanations that have been forwarded to understand such differences. Current knowledge concerning gender-based behavioral and neurobiological differences in other (non-creative) aspects of cognition is then explored. In the final part of the paper, implications of findings from neuroscientific studies of gender differences in creative thinking are discussed.Gender and Creativity 4

“…The future young expert should now be able to solve nonconventional creative problems in the professional sphere, thus showing competitive power at the labor market. Much depends upon social creativity that helps one overcome barriers, stereotypes, and behavioral patterns, to modify the communications behavior repertory, and promote self-realization and self-actualization in interpersonal interactions (Osipova, 2000;Kaufman, Baer, Loomis, 2010); which are essential for so many present-day occupations.…”

“…As outras duas envolveram estudos com os próprios juízes -no caso, professores que trabalhassem na área -, para verificar se eram capazes de identificar habilidades criativas. Esse método de avaliação, intitulado Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT), consiste no julgamento independente de produtos, por juízes especialistas, dentro de uma escala que varia entre o mais baixo e o mais alto nível de criatividade, partindo-se da percepção individual de cada juiz acerca do que é criatividade (Kaufman, Baer, Agars, & Loomis, 2010). Esse tipo de avaliação é polêmico e diversas pesquisas internacionais têm sido conduzidas com o objetivo de verificar a importância/necessidade de juízes especialistas ou a possibilidade de resultados similares obtidos a partir do julgamento feito por não especialistas (Kaufman, Baer, Cole, & Sexton, 2008;Kaufman, Lee, Baer, & Lee, 2007).…”

ResumoO presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar as produções científicas nacionais e internacionais que tiveram como foco a investigação da relação entre criatividade e dificuldades/transtornos de aprendizagem. Em nível nacional foram consultadas as bases de dados SCIELO, PEPSIC, CAPES e BDTD e no internacional, as bases APA, ERIC, PubMed e Scopus, sem delimitação de tempo. Como resultado, constatou-se a existência de 57 produções internacionais e cinco nacionais. As análises identificaram que não houve diferenças estatísticas significativas entre as médias das produções das últimas três décadas e que as investigações focalizaram principalmente o transtorno específico de leitura/Dislexia, o uso da metodologia quantitativa e o emprego do Teste de Torrance. Alguns nomes dados aos grupos investigados na maioria dos trabalhos não denotaram com clareza as origens das dificuldades de aprendizagem -se seriam ou não decorrentes de transtorno de aprendizagem. Concluiuse que são necessários novos estudos sobre a temática, nos quais se caracterizem melhor os grupos investigados e a nomenclatura utilizada.Palavras-chave: Pesquisa científica; distúrbios da aprendizagem; distúrbios do desenvolvimento. Creativity in individuals with disorders and learning disabilities: research review AbstractThis study aimed to characterize the national and international scientific production focused on investigating the relationship between creativity and difficulties / learning disabilities. Nationally were consulted the SCIELO databases, PEPSIC, CAPES and BDTD and internationally the APA bases, ERIC, PubMed and Scopus without delimitation of time. The results indicated the existence of 57 international and five domestic productions. The analysis found that there were no significant statistical differences between the averages of the past three decades productions; the investigations have focused mainly on the specific reading disability/Dyslexia; use of quantitative methodology; and using the Torrance Test.Some classifications given to groups investigated in most studies do not denote clearly the origins of learning disabilities, whether they were or not resulting from the learning disorder. We conclude that further studies are needed on the subject, provided there is a better characterization of the investigated groups and classifications used.Keywords: Scientific research; learning disorders; developmental disorders.
