“…Simple correlations calculated for the interactions of creativity tests that significantly predict creative performance (a measure of later phase abilities) were not related to the creativity variables, and thus did not support this hypothesis. Second, it was proposed that there could be complex relationships between creativity and schizotypy variables as have been suggested by other researchers (James & Asmus, 2001;Kinney et al, 2001;Prentky, 2001;Wuthrich & Bates, 2001). Again, this hypothesis was unsupported by the present data.…”

Although previous research has suggested that people with subclinical levels of schizophrenic symptoms achieve a greater number of creative accomplishments, the contention that there is a creative cognitive advantage in schizotypy has received mixed support. It was hypothesized that accounting for complex relationships between (a) creative cognition abilities (moderated relationships), and (b) creative cognition and schizotypy variables (mediated, moderated, and curvilinear relationships) would significantly increase the ability to predict creative performance and provide a more accurate survey of the schizotypic creative cognitive advantage. One hundred and fourteen participants completed a creative problem solving measure, measures of cognitive creative abilities (Remote Associates Test, a divergent thinking task, and a deductive reasoning task) and measures of positive and negative symptoms of schizotypy. Regression analyses supported the conception of a multistage process in which creative cognition variables interact with each other to predict performance on a creative problem solving task. There was no evidence of a creative cognitive advantage in schizotypy: People high in schizotypy performing the same or worse than people reporting few schizotypic symptoms on measures of creative cognition and creative problem solving performance. If people with schizotypy are, indeed, more creative than those without, it is because of factors other than the cognitive processes surveyed in this investigation.

“…After Guilford (1950) who identified certain abilities that may be involved in creativity, many researchers conducted studies in order to identify certain abilities and their impacts on creativity (Runco & Shaw, 1994;James & Asmus, 2000-2001Lubart, 2000Lubart, -2001. In this study as seen in Table 1, three factors were identified as being responsible for creative acts in design process and named as ''behavioral flexibility, emotional variability and risk taking as personal tendencies'' as proposed by James andAsmus (2000-2001, p. 150). Among the three factors, 'behavioral flexibility' and 'emotional variability' were considered to have items that have a unique relationship with the corresponding dimensions (see Table 5).…”

“…Lieberman (1965) shows that young physically, cognitively, and socially spontaneous children are more creative. James and Asmus (2001) pursue the synthesis of cognitive skill approaches to comprehend the sources of creativity. 434 O. N. SARACHO They declare that (1) cognitive skills contain differentiated predictive power for disparate creativity domains, (2) the originality of thinking quasi mediates the relationships of creativity in independent domains, and (3) divergent thinking contains some interactive and considerable effect on creativity.…”
