Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • Openness to experience (OTE) is a known predictor of creativity.
  • Global citizenship shares theoretical links with OTE and creativity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if global citizenship uniquely predicts five types of creativity.
  • To determine if global citizenship explains variance in creativity beyond OTE.

Main Methods:

  • Survey administered to 407 traditionally aged college students.
  • Assessed openness to experience and global citizenship.
  • Measured five distinct types of creativity: self/everyday, scholarly, performance, mechanical/scientific, and artistic.

Main Results:

  • Global citizenship prosocial outcomes significantly explained unique variance in self/everyday creativity (sr² = .10).
  • Global citizenship also uniquely contributed to scholarly creativity (sr² = .03) and mechanical/scientific creativity (sr² = .03).
  • OTE's contribution was considered alongside global citizenship's impact.

Conclusions:

  • Global citizenship is a significant, unique predictor of certain creativity types.
  • Findings support dual processes theories of cognition in understanding creativity.
  • The study highlights the multifaceted nature of creativity and its predictors.
