Creativity of Chinese and American Cultures: A Synthetic Analysis. (2013, background): “There are a number of studies (e.g., Jaquish & Ripple, 1984; Jellen & Urban, 1989; Niu & Sternberg, 2001, 2003; Niu, Zhang & Yang, 2007) that show Chinese students lag behind in creativity compared with their American counterparts.”
Effects of Explicit Instruction to “Be Creative” Across Domains and Cultures (2005, background): “For example, significant effects have been found in collage making (Amabile, 1979; Niu & Sternberg, 2003), drawing (Chen et al., 2002; Niu & Steinberg, 2001), essay writing (O’Hara & Sternberg, 2000- 2001), and business memo writing (Shalley, 1991, 1995).”
The Impact of Culture on Creativity (2015, background): “…cultural differences in creative performance, often finding individuals from Asia (e.g., Japan and China) to be less creative than those from the West (e.g., U.S.) at a variety of laboratory tasks (Torrance, 1969; Ng, 2000; Niu and Sternberg, 2001, 2002, 2003; Noriko, Fan, and Van Dusen, 2001).”
Self-Reported Differences in Creativity by Ethnicity and Gender (2006, background): “Niu and Sternberg (2003) found no significant differences on collage-making and drawing tasks between Asian American students and non-Asian Americans.”
The Creative Personality (2005, background): “It is well established (Niu & Sternberg, 2003; Sternberg, 2000; Treffinger et al., 2002) that an individual’s creative productivity can be improved through instruction.”
Assessing Creativity in the Classroom (2011, background): “Many empirical studies on the development of creativity and creativity-relevant attributes established that an individual’s creative productivity can be improved through instruction [15, 76], suggesting that training is possible, at least to some degree.”
The Impact of Culture and Individualism–Collectivism on the Creative Potential and Achievement of American and Chinese Adults (2006, background): “Many Chinese citizens are set along certain professional career paths early in life based on the results of standardized tests (National Commission on Excellence in Education [NCEE], 1983; Niu & Sternberg, 2003).”
