Comparison of Trait Creativity Between Medical Students and Humanities Students
Background:
Students play an important role in developing a country, and attention should be paid to encouraging and supporting students' creativity, especially in higher education.
Objective:
Creative training is an essential part of medical education and humanities education. The purpose of this study was to compare the trait creativity between students majoring in medicine and humanities.
Methods:
A cross-sectional online survey of students majoring in medicine and humanities was performed from July 20, 2022, to February 12, 2023. Trait creativity was assessed using the Williams Creativity Scale.
Results:
There were significant differences between female students and male students in the score of risk-taking (P < .05) and challenge scores (P < .05). No statistical difference was found for the score of trait creativity in four dimensions (imagination, challenging, risk-taking, and curiosity) between medical students and humanities students (P > .05).
Conclusions:
The study suggested that the overall trait creativity in medical students is equal to that of humanities students. However, gender differences in trait creativity still exist. Future studies should further identify more influential factors of trait creativity among university students.
