AbstractDivergent thinking (DT) is a theoretical, objective and operational construct of creativity. It accesses and reconciles opposite forms of creative thinking (Runco, 2020). The main premise was that individuality traits provide both direct (passing intelligence variables) and indirect (through intelligence variables) investment in DT. 425 undergraduates from universities in Perm (Russia) took part in this study. There were 298 females and 127 males aged 17 to 22 years (M = 18.6, SD = 0.9). Three levels of the individuality traits were specified: the nervous system, the temperament, the personality levels. The nervous system variables were measured by the Pavlovian Temperament Survey (Strelau, 1999), the temperament by the Formal Characteristics of Behaviour – Temperament Inventory (Strelau, 1995), the personality traits by the Big Five Inventory-2 (Soto & John, 2017). DT was assessed by Guilford’s Alternate Uses test (Wallach & Kogan, 1965). Fluid intelligence was measured by the Raven’s Progressive Matrices (2012) and crystallized intelligence by the Universal intelligence test (Baturin & Kurganskiy, 1995). Fluid and crystallized intelligence entered structural equation model as mediators, individuality traits as exogenous variables, and the general DT index as an endogenous variable. The main results were as follows. Crystallized intelligence, in contrast to fluid intelligence, mediated the specific indirect effects of some individuality traits on DT. The total indirect effect of fluid and crystallized intelligence was significant and higher than that of crystallized intelligence alone. When individual traits of several levels were involved together in the model, the multileveled structure of the individuality traits was adjusted. The study was funded by RFBR, project number 19-29-07046. |
