There is increasing recognition of the importance of creativity for social development. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there were differences among Brazilian and Portuguese women recognized for their creative excellence in relation to the psychological and environmental factors that might impact their achievements. The sample was composed of 33 women; 18 who were socially recognized for excellence in creativity in different areas (nine Brazilian, nine Portuguese) were compared to 15 who were not recognized (nine Brazilian, six Portuguese). The instruments used were the Biographical Questionnaire of Creative Women, a semi‐structured interview guide, and the Creative Production Analysis Guide. Non‐parametric tests indicated significant differences in environmental factors and personal cognitive characteristics between the creative and non‐creative women when compared within each country. However, no significant differences among Brazilian and Portuguese creative women were found, thus indicating that they present similar psychological profiles.

影响巴西和葡萄牙女性创意卓越的环境和心理因素

人们日益认识到创造力对社会发展的重要性。这项研究的目的是调查因创造力卓越而受到认可的巴西和葡萄牙妇女在影响其成就的心理和环境因素方面是否存在差异。样本由33位女性组成；将18位因在不同领域的创造力而获得社会认可的人（9名巴西人，9名葡萄牙人）与15名未被认可的人（9名巴西人，6名葡萄牙人）进行了比较。所使用的工具是《创意女性传记调查表》，半结构化访谈指南和《创意产品分析指南》。非参数测试表明，在每个国家进行比较时，创意女性和非创意女性在环境因素和个人认知特征上存在显着差异。但是，在巴西和葡萄牙的创意女性之间没有发现显着差异，因此表明她们表现出相似的心理特征。
