Influence of Intelligence on the Relationship between Creativity and Academic Achievement

Relationship between Creativity and Academic Achievement of Business Administration Students in South Western Polytechnics, Nigeria (

It has also been reported that highly creative persons are not necessarily high academic achievers (Palaniappan, 2009). However, most of the research findings on creativity continue to come from advanced countries.…”

“…For the same level of education, it seems student creativity varies from country to country. For example, Palaniappan (2009) compared creativity levels of Malaysian and American students. He reported that American students are significantly superior to their Malaysian counterparts in general creativity as well as in its components, namely fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration.…”

The relationship between school achievement and creativity at different educational stages

“…First, the available studies typically involve small, non-random test samples, providing local results that cannot be broadly generalised (e.g., Palaniappan & Persekutuan, 2008;Vijetha & Jangaiah, 2010). 5 Secondly, studies describing these relationships have usually been carried out without controlling for any moderators, which may have a significant impact on the nature of the obtained relations (i.e.…”

Moreover, previous research has shown that lower academic performance among males can partially be explained by more negative attitudes toward help-seeking behavior among boys (Kessels & Steinmayr, 2013).…”
