Citations in the corpus
- Cybernetic Big Five Theory. (2015, background): “At the core of Openness/Intellect are curiosity, imagination, creativity, and innovation (DeYoung, 2014; Saucier, 1992); these traits involve both the motivation and the ability to create new interpretations of the world.”
- The Next Big Five Inventory (BFI-2): Developing and Assessing a Hierarchical Model With 15 Facets to Enhance Bandwidth, Fidelity, and Predictive Power (2017, methodology): “Despite overall consensus around the Big Five model, there has been considerable disagreement regarding the defining features and optimal label for its fifth and final domain (DeYoung, 2014).”
- Creative days: A daily diary study of emotion, personality, and everyday creativity. (2015, background): “Collectively, these findings reinforce openness as a key personality trait in the science of creativity (DeYoung, 2014; Kaufman, 2013; McCrae, 1987; Silvia et al., 2009) and also highlight how little is known about what open people are actually doing in their everyday lives.”
- Everyday creative activity as a path to flourishing (2018, background): “One likely moderator is openness to experience, a general tendency toward cognitive exploration that is one of the major broad personality traits and a recurring factor in research on creativity (DeYoung, 2014; Oleynick et al., in press).”
- Cultivating an understanding of curiosity as a seed for creativity (2020, background): “Most measures of Openness have subdimensions that map onto curiosity; the NEO PI–3 ideas dimension [26], the BFAS intellect dimension [27], Woo’s curiosity dimension [28], and the HEXACO inquisitiveness dimension [29].”
