Gender, creativity, depression, and attributional style in adolescents with high academic ability

Abstract: 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 signif… Show more

“…Naderi et al, [19] states that the average female score is higher than the average male score on the aspects of environmental sensitivity, self-power, intellectuality and individuality, but the average score for female is lower than male in terms of initiative and art. This finding also supports DeMoss et al [20] suggestion that female and male are different significantly in verbal components, in which female shows significantly higher score than male. High verbal creativity is associated with lower level of depression and positive attribution style.…”

“…Comparatively, a score of value p= 0.012 for a post test shows a slight difference of mean between both genders. This finding is parallel with several studies, such as Baer & Kaufman (2006);Caparrós, Barrantes-Vidal, Viñas, & Obiols, (2008);DeMoss, Milich, & DeMers (1993); Kaufman (2006);and Matud, Rodriguez, & Grande (2007) that confirmed there was no significant difference in the level of creativity between male and female. However, on the other hands, various study shows otherwise (Eysenck, 1994;Maccoby, 1990;Norfauzi & Mohammad Yusof, 2002;Reiss, 2000;Stoltzfus, Nibbelink, Vredenburg, & Hyrum, 2011).…”

“…In the midst of such concerns, it is quite understandable that adolescent girls would develop attributional styles that place the fulcrum of success somewhere outside themselves and their abilities. Not surprisingly, attributions of success to luck or to the "ease" of the task are much more common in adolescent girls than in adolescent boys (e.g., DeMoss, Milich, & DeMers, 1993;Gjerde et al, 1988).…”

“…Brage and Meredith (1994) found that, relative to the other factors in their study, family strengths (the extent to which families can cope with problems and conflicts) had the strongest total effect on self-esteem. Demo, Small, and Savin-Williams (1987) demonstrated that an adolescent's self-concept was positively influenced by perceptions of parental support, participation, and communication. Avison and McAlpine (1992) found that an adolescent's perceptions of both parents as "caring" were positively associated with feelings of mastery and high self-esteem, for girls more so than for boys, and that perceptions of parental overprotectiveness were associated with depression in girls but not in boys.…”
