Ready, Set, Create: What Instructing People to "Be Creative" Reveals About the Meaning and Mechanisms of Divergent Thinking (2014, methodology): “Concerning mechanisms, we contend that the be-creative effect reveals the controlled and strategic character of effective divergent thinking and thus informs the ongoing controversy about executive aspects of creativity (Kim, 2005; Nusbaum & Silvia, 2011a).”
Malevolent Creativity: Does Personality Influence Malicious Divergent Thinking? (2011, background): “Another similar finding is the high level of intratask correlation between pencil and brick (r¼ .73), which is found in other measures of divergent thinking (Silvia, 2010).”
Why do ideas get more creative across time? An executive interpretation of the serial order effect in divergent thinking tasks. (2012, methodology): “The reliability of the ratings was high: Cronbach's alpha, estimated from the factor loadings ( Hancock & Mueller, 2001; Silvia, 2011), was .89.”
Verbal fluency and creativity: General and specific contributions of broad retrieval ability (Gr) factors to divergent thinking (2013, methodology): “Recent work has shown large effects of Gf on the creativity of divergent thinking responses (Nusbaum& Silvia, 2011) and the creativity of metaphors (Beaty & Silvia, 2013; Silvia & Beaty, 2012).”
Making creative metaphors: The importance of fluid intelligence for creative thought (2012, methodology): “For divergent thinking tasks, several trained raters simply evaluate and score individual ideas (Silvia, 2011; Silvia & Kimbrel, 2010; Silvia et al., 2008) or the set of ideas (Silvia et al., 2009).”
Assessing creativity with self-report scales: A review and empirical evaluation. (2012, methodology): “For studies of whether creativity is domain-general or domain-specific, Silvia et al. (2009) argued that latent class analysis can provide better evidence for domain-specificity than factor analysis can.”
Understanding Fluency and Originality: A latent variable perspective (2014, methodology): “However, latent variable models of luency, Originality, and divergent thinking have appeared much less often (e.g., Silvia, 2008, 2011).”
