q3 · i? · associational · r?

Study 2 with 177 children aged 8 to 13 used hierarchical regressions and SEM models to relate flexibility components to creativity. Results "showed consistently" that the creativity-linked component is spontaneous flexibility, generation of diverse responses driven by internal stimuli.

"In S2 (n = 177 8- to 13-year-old children), hierarchical regressions and SEM models showed consistently that the flexibility component in relation to creativity deals with the ability to generate diverse responses driven by internal stimuli (i.e., spontaneous flexibility)."
