How Dual-Identity Processes Foster Creativity (2014, background): “Echoing the principle of cultural distance, these creative concept modifications are especially likely when the two colliding concepts are opposing and unrelated (Estes & Ward, 2002; S. M. Smith et al., 1993).”
Leading for Innovation (2011, background): “Scholars such as Finke, Ward, and Smith (1992), and Estes and Ward (2002) have made a strong case that successful innovation is the result of a host of back-and-forth activities, where ideas are proposed, refined, and tested only to feed information back to the system to start the process again.”
Applying Multiple Knowledge Structures in Creative Thought: Effects on Idea Generation and Problem-Solving (2008, background): “…1994; Howe, Davidson & Sloboda, 1998; Rich & Weisberg, 2004; Weisberg, 1999) and, in part, on effective application of requisite processing operations to relevant knowledge (e.g., Brophy, 1998; Estes & Ward, 2002; Finke, Ward, & Smith, 1992; Scott, Longergan, & Mumford, 2005; Sternberg, 1989).”
A Sociocultural Theory of Creativity: Bridging the Social, the Material, and the Psychological (2020, background): “For instance, it is demonstrated empirically that surprising concept combinations (e.g., thinking about a Harvard educated carpenter) lead to the generation of novel attributes (Estes & Ward, 2002) and, in doing so, increase cognitive flexibility.”
ARTICLES: Validation of Ethical Decision Making Measures: Evidence for a New Set of Measures (2006, background): “In fact, this self-centered orientation has been linked to integrity in studies by Fromm (1973) and O’Connor, Mumford, Clifton, Connelly, and Gessner (1995). Moreover, the results obtained for the cognitive strategies scoring suggest that the effect of this self-centered focus may be that it diminis”
Evaluative Aspects of Creative Thought: Errors in Appraising the Implications of New Ideas (2006, background): “…the generation of viable new ideas in studies of problem construction (Okuda, Runco, & Berger, 1991), information gathering (Mumford, Baughman, Supinski, & Maher, 1996), conceptual combination (Estes & Ward, 2002), idea generation (Clapham, 1997), and idea evaluation (Basadur, Runco, & Vega, 2000).”
Cognition, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship (2004, background): “For example, Estes and Ward (2002) had a sample of college students interpret various types of adjective-noun combinations.”
