Developmental Trends of Creativity: What Twists of Turn Do Boys and Girls Take at Different Grades? (2010, result): “Other than a linear positive or negative trend, findings from some studies do show other patterns of relationship between creativity and age: eg, no relationship from grade 4 to 6 (Runco, 1989 ); a J-shaped pattern from age 6 to 20s (Smolucha & Smolucha, 1985 ); a U-shaped pattern from age 6 to 12”
Divergent Thinking as an Indicator of Creative Potential (2012, background): “Their results, and those of Charles and Runco (2000–2001), confirmed that this method, using ideational pools, works quite well. Runco et al. (1987) compared (a) the summation scores (flexibility, fluency, and originality added together), (b) common and uncommon (the latter ideas produced by less th”
Creative Thinking Ability: Domain Generality and Specificity (2010, background): “Raina (1980) and Torrance (968) found a slump in creative thinking around fourth grade; Charles and Runco (2000) found an increase in fourth grade and a decrease in fifth grade.”
The Creativity Crisis: The Decrease in Creative Thinking Scores on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (2011, background): “Charles and Runco (2001) reported a peak at fourth grade.”
Developmental Variation in Children's Creative Mathematical Thinking as a Function of Schooling, Age, and Knowledge (2006, background): “Unlike Torrance and Raina, Charles and Runco (2000) found a peak at fourth grade and a stable decrease at fifth grade in flexibility, fluency, and originality of students in instances tasks. Maybe a brief discussion of the association of the level of education with adult creativity contributes to un”
Developmental Trends in the Creativity of School-Age Children (2005, background): “…were consistent with longitudinal studies of creativity that found either no decline in divergent thinking skills after the fourth grade or a decrease in Fluency, Flexibility, or Originality scores between the fourth and fifth grades (Charles & Runco, 2001; Gardner, 1982; Smith & Carlsson, 1990).”
Malevolent Creativity: Does Personality Influence Malicious Divergent Thinking? (2011, background): “Although ratio scores can be unreliable, they provide unique information that cannot be assessed otherwise (see Charles & Runco, 2000–2001 ).”
Discernment and creativity: How well can people identify their most creative ideas? (2008, background): “Intrapersonal and interpersonal judgments of creativity probably differ in important ways (Charles & Runco, 2001), although the methodological approach developed in this article could be applied to both kinds of judgments.”
Diversifying experiences enhance cognitive flexibility (2012, unknown): “(Charles & Runco, 2001).”
The Effect Size of Variables Associated With Creativity: A Meta-Analysis (2009, background): “Charles and Runco (2001) reported a correlation coefficient of 1.00.”
Answering the Unexpected Questions: Exploring the Relationship Between Students' Creative Self-Efficacy and Teacher Ratings of Creativity (2011, background): “Other research opposes this idea, arguing for a surge of creativity in the fourth grade (Charles & Runco, 2001; Claxton, Pannells, & Rhoads, 2005; Smith & Carlsson, 1983, 1985).”
