Some reasons why childhood creativity often fails to make it past puberty into the real world
We generally overestimate the ease and naturalness of the development of creativity in childhood and. even more so, past it
Independence and the creative potential of gifted and exceptionally gifted boys
Exceptional giftedness in early adolescence and intrafamilial divergent thinking
The Reliability and Validity of Ideational Originality in the Divergent Thinking of Academically Gifted and Nongifted Children
Divergent thinking tests are probably the most commonly employed measures of creative potential and have demonstrated adequate psychometric properties with many populations. Recently, however, a partial correlation evaluation revealed that the indices drawn from divergent thinking tests are highly redundant. That is, in the nongifted population, ideational “originality” and “flexibility” were seriously confounded by ideational “fluency,” and henc…

Creative Ability and the Handling of Personal and Social Conflict Among Bright Sixth Graders
Twenty-two sixth graders (11 boys and 11 girls), IQs between 118 and 130, were measured for their creative ability with verbal and pictorial material, their degree of perceptual defense regarding individual conflicts found in projective test measures, and their manner of resolving social conflict situations. Hypotheses regarding the relation of creative thinking ability to the handling of personal conflict and the resolution of social situation c…
Cognitive Development and Parental Loss among the Gifted, the Exceptionally Gifted and the Creative
This paper reports an analysis of descriptions of children with IQs of 155 or better. It is suggested that these children be distinguished from gifted children by the label exceptionally gifted. The paper reports some important cognitive differences between the two groups as well as the high rate of early parental loss among historically famous highly intelligent persons. This finding is discussed in the light of how certain parent-child relation…

The Psychopathic Personality
The Influence of Social Status on the Uses of Television
As enough time has elapsed by now for television to become a standard communication feature in the home, it is important to see how it has been incorporated into the home life and used as an instrument of socialization as well as entertainment by parents. In this article questions on viewing habits, program preferences and the use of television as an instrument of reward and punishment were asked of pairs of parent and child in two different soci…
