ABSTRACT

Research on creativity is a field of great relevance since it studies our capacity to create, the root of all innovation and problem solving. Some factors, like personality, motivation and artistic knowledge, are known to influence creativity. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of music expertise and gender on creativity and the interaction between these factors. One hundred and fifty-eight participants, aged between 18 and 50, were involved in the study. Eighty-seven of them were musicians (56 male and 31 female) and 71 non-musicians (30 male and 41 female). To evaluate creativity, two tasks, one verbal and one visual, were used, each lasting 2 minutes. Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, Elaboration, and General Creativity were the creative domains under evaluation. The results showed statistically significant differences in music expertise and, to a lesser extent, in gender, especially in the verbal task. Music expertise had a positive impact on creative performance, and women were found to be more creative in the verbal domain than men. This research extends previous work on the influence of biological and environmental factors on creativity.

语言和视觉发散思维中的音乐专长和性别差异。行为研究

摘要

创造力研究是一个非常相关的领域,因为它研究我们的创造能力,这是所有创新和解决问题的根源。众所周知,个性、动机和艺术知识等一些因素会影响创造力。本研究的目的是调查音乐专业知识和性别对创造力的影响以及这些因素之间的相互作用。158 名年龄在 18 至 50 岁之间的参与者参与了这项研究。其中87人是音乐家(56男31女)和71非音乐家(30男41女)。为了评估创造力,使用了两项任务,一项是口头的,一项是视觉的,每个任务持续 2 分钟。流畅性、灵活性、独创性、精细化和通用创造力是被评估的创意领域。结果显示,音乐专业知识在统计学上存在显着差异,在较小程度上,性别存在显着差异,尤其是在语言任务中。音乐专业知识对创造性表现有积极影响,并且发现女性在语言领域比男性更具创造性。这项研究扩展了先前关于生物和环境因素对创造力的影响的工作。
