Kişilik ve Yaratıcılık İlişkisini İnceleyen Çalışmaların Kullanılan Ölçme Araçlarına Göre Değerlendirilmesi

Yaratıcılık kavramına ilişkin önemli sorunlardan biri yaratıcılığı etkileyen kişisel farklılıkların ortaya çıkarılmasıdır. Özellikle yaratıcılık ile kişilik faktörleri arasındaki ilişkiyi anlamaya yönelik birçok araştırma olsa da bu çalışmaların sonuçları tutarsızlık gösterebilmektedir. Bu derlemenin varsayımı yaratıcılık ve kişilik arasındaki ilişkinin yönü ve gücündeki değişkenliğin yaratıcılık ölçümünde kullanılan araçların farklı- laşmasından kaynaklandığıdır. Bu çalışmada, alanyazında yaratıcılık ve kişilik arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen çalışmalar, yaratıcılığı değerlendirmek için kullanılan farklı ölçüm araçları temelinde gruplandırılarak ele alınmıştır. Genel olarak, yaratıcılık ile kişilik ilişkisini inceleyen çalışmaların sonuçları, yaratıcılığın alt boyutlarına bağlı olarak dışadönüklük, deneyime açıklık ya da nevrotiklik ile yaratıcılık arasında ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Fakat bu çalışmalarda kullanılan farklı yaratıcılık ölçümleri arasında gözlemlenen düşük korelasyon ve ölçüm aracına bağlı olarak değişen nevrotiklik-yaratıcılık ilişkisi varsayımımızı desteklemektedir. Çalışma sonucunda kişilik-yaratıcılık ilişkisinin iki adım modeli çerçevesinde ele alınmasının gelecek çalışmalar açısından daha geçerli sonuçlar doğuracağı değerlendirilmiştir.

A Review of Studies Investigating Personality and Creativity Relationship in Light of Creativity Measurement Methods

One of the key issues relating to the concept of creativity is the discovery of personal differences affecting creativity. In particular, although a lot of research are conducted to understand the relationship between creativity and personality factors, the results of these studies can be inconsistent. The assumption of this review is that the variation in direction and strength of the relationship between creativity and personality is due to the differing methods used to measure creativity. In this study, studies examining the relationship between creativity and personality in the literature, were discussed on the basis of their various methods. In general, results of the studies examining the relationship between creativity and personality indicate that extraversion, openness to experience, and neuroticism are related to creativity, depending on the dimensions of creativity. However, low correlation between different measures of creativity and variation of neuroticism-creativity relationship due to measurement, supports our assumption. At the end, it is suggested that personality and creativity relation should be investigated in lights of the two step model since such approach will lead to more valid results for future studies.
