- Which Test of Divergent Thinking Is Best? (2016, background): “…sometimes involves an actual divergence of thought, with associative paths exploring a variety of directions, conceptual spaces and possibilities (Acar & Runco, 2014, 2015), although most of the time DT is operationalized more simply in terms of the number, originality and flexibility of ideas…”
- Creativity assessment in psychological research: (Re)setting the standards. (2019, background): “…underpinning some manifestations of DT (i.e., those relying on semantic classes), but due to the nature of LSA itself, this approach may not be sufficient for directly assessing creativity or originality (cf. Acar & Runco, 2014; Forthmann, Oyebade, Ojo, Günther, & Holling, 2018; Hass, 2017).”
- A closer look at the creativity gap and why students are less creative at school than outside of school (2017, background): “The impact of positive attitudes and values toward creativity on divergent thinking and ideational productivity (Acar & Runco, 2014; Basadur, & Hausdorf, 1996; Kraut, 1976) and creative performance (Dollinger, Burke, & Gump, 2007; Kasof, Chen, Himsel, & Greenberger, 2007; Zhou &Oldham, 2001) is…”
- Understanding Fluency and Originality: A latent variable perspective (2014, methodology): “…among hose researchers who use semantic networks to operationalize Originality, multiple methods have been used, with most esearchers using measures of semantic distance derived from word co-occurrence or word associations based on human aters (e.g., Acar & Runco, 2014; Mednick, 1962).”
