“…The sum of a subject1s scores was taken to be an index -9-of his originality. This originality measure is very similar to the one that Barron (1955) found to correlate as highly with a composite originality score as any of the other measures entering into the composite.…”

“…-4-Three of these performance variables--spontaneous flexibility, originality of productions, and complexity of productions--have usually been studied as aspects of creativity (Barron, 1953, 1955, 1963j Guilford, 1957. In the present context, it is important that spontaneous flexibility and originality of productions can be considered to involve primarily moment-to-moment change and relatively rare occurrences, respectively, while complex productions not only tend to be relatively rare but may also provide a basis for moment-tomoment change by a savoring process once they have been produced (Fiske & Maddi, 1961, pp.…”

This study aimed to measure three rationally distinct forms of the need for variety as expressed in thematic apperception, and to obtain the relatic ships among them and between each of them and other variables with which the should or should not be correlated. Sixty‐two male subjects were tested fox all variables. The relationships among the three fantasy measures–novelty of productions, curiosity, and desire for novelty–were consistent with assuming that they represent different forms of the need for variety. In addition, novelty of productions correlated positively with complexity and internal exploration, and negatively with external exploration. Curiosity correlated positively with external exploration and n achievement, and negatively with nonverbal productivity. Evidence for discriminant validity was also obtained.

“…One of the key problems is that traditional conceptual definitions are difficult to use for empirical research (Amabile 1996). The most commonly accepted conceptual definition of creativity, for instance, revolves around intrinsic properties of novelty and appropriateness (Barron 1955, Stein 1974. A challenge to these approaches is that novelty and appropriateness are not static properties of an object, but rather are determined within "the bounds of social, cultural, and historical precedents of the field" (Perry-Smith and Shalley 2003, p. 91 Organization Science 19(6), pp.…”

Building on social network theory and techniques, we examine the role of social networks in shaping individuals' ability to generate a creative outcome. More specifically, we argue that individuals who occupy an intermediate position between the core and the periphery of their social system are in a favorable position to achieve creative results. In addition, the benefits accrued through an individual's intermediate core/periphery position can also be observed at the team level, when the same individual works in a team whose members come from both ends of the core/periphery continuum. We situate the analysis and test our hypotheses within the context of the Hollywood motion picture industry, which we trace over the period 1992-2003. The theoretical implications of the results are discussed.

“…Whereas most studies from the marketing side were oriented more toward effectiveness, psychological studies focused more on defining and measuring creativity (Haberland and Dacin 1992). The early field of psychological studies can be divided into three different approaches: The first -and earliest -approach aims at identifying the traits of creative people (Barron 1955;Barron and Harrington 1981;MacKinnon 1987). Creativity in these studies was based mostly on three main characteristics: originality, the adaptiveness to reality and development and elaboration.…”
