  • Title: Effects of trait anxiety and the scamper technique on creative thinking of intellectually gifted students.
    Author: Mijares-Colmenares BE, Masten WG, Underwood JR.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1993 Jun; 72(3 Pt 1):907-12. PubMed ID: 8332693.
    Abstract:
    This work assessed the effect of trait anxiety (measured on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) and the Scamper technique on figural creative thinking, measured by the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. An analysis of covariance with 52 gifted students in a summer camp gave no significant main effect of treatment for trait anxiety, or their interaction. Scamper may not effectively improve figural creativity and anxiety may not influence figural creativity the same way it influences verbal creativity, at least as measured.
