q3 i2 The overall MANOVA returned a significant interaction effect between condition and selective attention on the combined creativity measures. → van Dijk 2020

Evidence¶

van Dijk 2020¶

van Dijk, M., Blom, E., Kroesbergen, E. H., & Leseman, P. P. M. (2020). The Influence of Situational Cues on Children’s Creativity in an Alternative Uses Task and the Moderating Effect of Selective Attention. Journal of Intelligence, 8(4), 37. https://doi.org/10.3390/jintelligence8040037

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

MANOVA over fluency, flexibility, and originality in the same experiment. The omnibus "interaction effect between condition and selective attention on the combined creativity measures" was significant with η2 = 0.13; the multivariate condition main effect was not significant (p = 0.15).

"The overall MANOVA also returned a significant interaction effect between condition and selective attention on the combined creativity measures, F(3, 60) = 2.97, p = 0.04, η2 = 0.13."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Fluency in the Alternative Uses Task was unaffected by stimulus condition and unrelated to selective attention
• Children produced more original alternative uses (net of fluency and flexibility) in a low stimulus environment than in a high stimulus environment
• Children with better selective attention were more flexible (used more different conceptual categories) in the Alternative Uses Task — related
• Selective attention moderated the effect of stimulus condition on children’s originality: better selective attention favoured the low stimulus environment, weaker selective attention the high stimulus environment — related
