    Field independent individuals exhibit higher creativity than field dependents. Advanced strategies and insightful responses correlate with better performance on the Remote Associates Test (RAT), highlighting cognition

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Psychology of Creativity

    Background:

    • Understanding the interplay between perception, personality, and cognition is crucial for exploring creative thinking.
    • Previous research has not fully elucidated the relationship between cognitive styles and creative potential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between cognitive style, specifically field independence/dependence, and creative thinking.
    • To explore the role of cognitive strategies and personality factors in creative performance.

    Main Methods:

    • Administered the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) to assess field independence.
    • Utilized the Remote Associates Test (RAT) to measure creative thinking ability.
    • Collected data via a RAT strategy questionnaire and self-report scales on conformity and creativity.

    Main Results:

    • Field independent subjects demonstrated significantly higher creativity (p < .001) compared to field dependent subjects.
    • Advanced strategy levels and insightful responses were significantly associated with high RAT performance.
    • Correlations with self-report measures, while mostly nonsignificant, aligned with predicted directions.

    Conclusions:

    • Cognitive style, particularly field independence, is a significant predictor of creative thinking.
    • The study supports a multifaceted approach to understanding creative processes, integrating cognitive and relational aspects.
    • Findings suggest theoretical links between cognitive style, Piagetian concepts, and creative thought.
