Exploring the Relationship of Creative Thinking to Reading and Writing
Wang, Amber Yayin
Thinking Skills and Creativity, v7 n1 p38-47 Apr 2012
This study explores if extensive practice in reading or writing is related to high creative performance. In total, 196 university students participated in the study by filling out a questionnaire and completing a creativity test. The questionnaire inquires the total courses taken in the school year, total hours spent on reading, total hours on writing, and background information. The results indicated that students who spent more time on reading/writing performed significantly better on the creativity test. This study concludes that creativity scores, especially scores of elaboration, are significantly correlated with attitudes toward reading/writing, and the amount of time spent on reading/writing. (Contains 8 tables.)
