Malevolent Creativity: A Functional Model of Creativity in Terrorism and Crime (2008, background): “Close to this is the idea that personality traits such as recklessness or unconventionality, or subclinical patterns of personal adjustment (Schuldberg, 2001) may encourage characteristics that are favorable for creativity (e.”
Schizotypy and mental health amongst poets, visual artists, and mathematicians (2006, background): “correlated with negative psychotic symptoms (i.e., anhedonia and avolition; Schuldberg, 1990, 2000 ).”
A dimensional analysis of creativity and mental illness: Do anxiety and depression symptoms predict creative cognition, creative accomplishments, and creative self-concepts? (2010, background): “…debate over types versus dimensions isn’t something we can settle here—or something that clinical psychologists can settle over there (De Boeck, Wilson, & Acton, 2005)—but it is important to be clear about the assumptions and commitments that a dimensional approach makes (Schuldberg, 2000-2001).”
Malevolent Creativity in Terrorist Organizations (2013, background): “Furthermore, personality traits such as recklessness or unconventionality facilitate creative endeavors by encouraging individuals to push the boundaries of societal norms and challenge the status quo (Schuldberg, 2001).”
Play, Playfulness, Creativity and Innovation (2013, background): “involved in the creative arts, such as poets and artists, tend to score higher on two dimensions of schizotypal traits (Batey & Furnham, 2008; Nettle, 2002; Schuldberg, 2000).”
The evolution of personality variation in humans and other animals. (2006, methodology): “The Unusual Experiences scale is also correlated with measures of creativity (Nettle, in press-b; Schuldberg, 2000).”
Neuropsychological evidence for dimensional schizotypy: Implications for creativity and psychopathology (2004, background): “For instance, in a series of studies enrolling 1108 college students, positive symptoms were positively correlated with creativity, whereas negative symptoms were negatively correlated (for a review, see Schuldberg, 2001 ).”
The Effect Size of Variables Associated With Creativity: A Meta-Analysis (2009, background): “Guilford (1971) insisted that, although divergent thinking and schizophrenic disorder may appear to be somewhat similar, it is hard to equate divergent thinking with psychotic thinking, and creative thinking is essentially rational (Schuldberg, 2001).”
Personality and ability predictors of the ''Consequences" Test of divergent thinking in a large non-student sample (2009, background): “Researchers have found relationships between hypomania and DT (Furnham, Batey, Anand, & Manfield, 2008; Schuldberg, 2000 –2001) in addition to schizotypy and DT (Batey & Furnham, 2009; Green & Williams, 1999).”
Uninhibited imaginations: Creativity in adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (2006, background): “People have long speculated that some forms of mental illness may impart certain cognitive benefits, such as insight, inventiveness and creativity (Schuldberg, 2001).”
