An exploration of how creativity, functionality, and aesthetics are related in design (2021, background): “However, the results of this research reveal that design creativity is related to aesthetics, which is supported by studies of other researchers, including (O’Quin and Besemer 1989; Cropley and Cropley 2005; Lee et al.”
Assessing Creativity Specific to Engineering with the Revised Creative Engineering Design Assessment (2011, background): “Some researchers have indicated the need to assess creativity in engineering classes (Cropley & Cropley, 2005; Felder, 1987; Felder, Woods, Stice, & Rugarcia, 2000).”
Wallas’ Four-Stage Model of the Creative Process: More Than Meets the Eye? (2015, background): “Although some creativity researchers have proposed finer granularities (e.g., Cropley & Cropley, 2005, 2012; Doyle, 1998) most have adhered to the basic framework to the extent that the four-stage model has the status of an in-house assumption among creativity researchers.”
Malevolent Creativity: A Functional Model of Creativity in Terrorism and Crime (2008, background): “Cropley and Cropley (2005) went on to suggest that in a competitive situation, where, for example, two businesses are competing in the same market, greater creativity in one product can actually reduce the effectiveness of a competing product.”
Measuring Functional Creativity: Non‐Expert Raters and the Creative Solution Diagnosis Scale (2012, methodology): “The functional model of creativity (Cropley & Cropley, 2005) provides a number of broad properties of products that can be used to describe the level and kind of creativity they possess.”
Furious activity vs. understanding: How much expertise is needed to evaluate creative work? (2013, background): “Cropley and Cropley (2005, 2008, 2010) sought to address this characteristic of creativity, relative to domains, by focusing on functional creativity.”
