62. INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVITY
    You might be upset if a psychology exam contained physics questions! creativity is a process of producing something original and valuable.  
    http://inst.santafe.cc.fl.us/~mwehr/StudyGHB/11Ovr_Int.htm
    
    Extractions: Mod 6a Intelligence and Creativity How is Intelligence Defined? Intelligence is difficult to define. Theoretically it is the capacity to learn new information, to understand one’s world and to be resourceful in coping with challenges. Intelligence consists of abilities necessary to adapt to the environment to achieve goals. You are intelligent if you understand what is going on around you, can learn from experience and can act in ways that are successful in your environment. Psychologists differ on how they define intelligence and exactly which abilities comprise "intelligence." On a practical level, intelligence is often defined by what intelligence tests measure What are the differences between intelligence, achievement and aptitude? Achievement refers to knowledge and skills gained from experience, an achieved level of expertise or performance in a specific domain ( e.g. your psychology exams Aptitude measures the capability to acquire knowledge, expertise or skill in a domain or set of domains An aptitude test e.g. the SAT, Scholastic Aptitude Test)

    Monitor on psychology What exactly is creativity? International Center for Studies in creativity - Two dimensions of creativity level and style  
    http://www.uclan.ac.uk/facs/science/psychol/Psychology/defining.htm
    
    Extractions: Creativity is a complex cognitive ability, which everyone has to some extent. Definitions of creativity are very diverse. They mention problem solving, using the representational system, metacognition, intelligence, etc. Creativity is also related to personality, motivation, environmental conditions, culture, birth order, etc. Before you attempt to make a scientific measurement of anything, you have to decide what it is you want to measure. To compare your results with other people's research, you need to have public agreement on a definition of the research topic. (Otherwise what you are doing is more like literary criticism than science.) But tightly defining creativity is very awkward; the everyday usage of the word covers many different things. So everyone thinks they know what is meant by creativity, but they don't all mean the same thing! This confusion over the definition explains many of the theoretical conflicts over creativity. Monitor on Psychology - What exactly is creativity?

65. Cognitive Psychology PS2400
    Monitor on psychology creativity is a decision. Ronald B. Standler - creativity in Science and Engineering. Identifying and Nurturing Talent for All  
    http://www.uclan.ac.uk/facs/science/psychol/Psychology/investment.htm
    
    Extractions: "It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science." Carl Sagan: [Sternberg and Lubart 1991, 1993, 1995] propose that, for creativity to occur, multiple environmental factors must converge: A suitable environmental context. Appropriate knowledge. Intrinsic motivation. Relevant personality variables. Appropriate intellectual processes. Appropriate intellectual style. Only the last two are primarily cognitive. So creativity is seen as being dependent on the right combination of circumstances arising; a motivated, knowledgable and capable individual with access to the tools needed. You can picture this perhaps as the traditional castaway on a desert island faced with constructing some means of escape. The castaway needs to have: materials to build with. some experience of making things. the urge to return to civilisation.

66. The Psychology Of Art (I) - The Origins Of Creativity, Neurosis And The Artist
    Treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Complementary Therapies.  
    http://www.positivehealth.com/permit/Articles/Regular/litt24.htm
    
    Extractions: That art has a neurotic source may be readily observed in some instances but obviously there are great artists, the lives of whom reveal little evidence for the universality of this conception. Thus, while Rembrandt's tragic suffering points in this direction, the happy un-neurotic life of Rubens give us a contradictory example. Following Freud's theory (while overlooking the exceptions), many writers have consequently sought to explain a work of art by delving into the disturbed emotional life of the artist. In their view, the theme of composition is always autobiographical and reflects the artist's own unresolved sexual problems. Freud started this trend with his epochal study of Leonardo da Vinci, which traced the relationship between Leonardo's inverted sexuality and his art. Yet the point must be emphasised here that many people, not only artists, have endured suffering. A biographer who digs enough can always locate evidence of emotional instability and a pained psyche in everyone. Man's existential Angst is universal. But not all of us utilise this feeling for creative purposes. Why then seek the origin of art in the endless cesspool of man's constant anxiety?

    Extractions: SEARCH PSYCHOLOGY: RELATED SITES: I knew in the 8th grade that I wanted to be a clinical psychologist. I wanted to do something that involved science and also involved working directly with people and helping them. Clinical psychology enabled me to do both during my career. As an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh, I did an independent study that investigated creativity and anxiety. Affect and creativity has been an enduring interest of mine. After I received my Ph.D. at the University of Pittsburgh, I did a child internship at the Pittsburgh Child Guidance Center. I then spent 4 years at the Washington University Child Guidance Center where I worked with many children using play in therapy. I began to notice the link between play and creativity at that time. After joining the faculty at Case in 1975, I pursued my interests in studying play, affect, and creativity. I have also been active in professional organizations. I have served as President of the Society for Personality Assessment, Child Clinical section of Division 12 of APA, and Division 10 of APA (Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts). Currently, I serve on the Council of APA. I have loved working with my psychology colleagues in these organizations and being involved in current issues in psychology.

75. Association For Humanistic Psychology
    Humanistic psychology is a contemporary manifestation of that ongoing of evil and suffering in the world, the nature of creativity, art and mythology,  
    http://www.ahpweb.org/aboutahp/whatis.html
    
    Extractions: HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGY OVERVIEW Throughout history many individuals and groups have affirmed the inherent value and dignity of human beings. They have spoken out against ideologies, beliefs and practices which held people to be merely the means for accomplishing economic and political ends. They have reminded their contemporaries that the purpose of institutions is to serve and advance the freedom and power of their members. In Western civilization we honor the times and places, such as Classical Greece and Europe of the Renaissance, when such affirmations were expressed. Humanistic Psychology is a contemporary manifestation of that ongoing commitment. Its message is a response to the denigration of the human spirit that has so often been implied in the image of the person drawn by behavioral and social sciences. During the first half of the twentieth century, American psychology was dominated by two schools of thought: behaviorism and psychoanalysis. Neither fully acknowledged the possibility of studying values, intentions and meaning as elements in conscious existence. Although various European perspectives such as phenomenology had some limited influence, on the whole mainstream American psychology had been captured by the mechanistic beliefs of behaviorism and by the biological reductionism and determinism of classical psychoanalysis. The "Second Force" emerged out of Freudian psychoanalysis and the depth psychologies of Alfred Adler, Erik Erikson, Erich Fromm, Karen Horney, Carl Jung, Melanie Klein, Otto Rank, Harry Stack Sullivan and others. These theorists focused on the dynamic unconscious - the depths of the human psyche whose contents, they asserted, must be integrated with those of the conscious mind in order to produce a healthy human personality . The founders of the depth psychologies believed (with several variations) that human behavior is principally determined by what occurs in the unconscious mind. So, where the behaviorists ignored consciousness because they felt that its essential privacy and subjectivity rendered it inaccessible to scientific study, the depth psychologists tended to regard it as the relatively superficial expression of unconscious drives.

    http://www.enotalone.com/books/0060928204.html
    
    Extractions: You have heard about how a musician loses herself in her music, how a painter becomes one with the process of painting. In work, sport, conversation or hobby, you have experienced, yourself, the suspension of time, the freedom of complete absorption in activity. This is "flow," an experience that is at once demanding and rewardingan experience that Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi demonstrates is one of the most enjoyable and valuable experiences a Finding Flow: If you read this book with the goal of understanding human behavior, and seeing that behavior categorized in ways that are both scientific and readily understandable, then you'll find this book richly rewarding. I would rate the book five stars for originality in describing the choices people make with their time and their energy.
