I've been enjoying reading Simonton's (1984) Genius, Creativity, & Leadership. Over 40 years later, connections between economic insecurity, dogmatism and authoritarianism, and creativity are as relevant as ever.

Just read this lovely review of meta-analyses examining predictors of achievement in postsecondary education. Highly recommended to anyone interested in assessing the influences of different instructional strategies.

I'm seeking scales for some instrument validation work. What are your preferred scales for measuring:
1) Teachers' ability to teach for creativity (self-ratings)?
2) Students' creative abilities (teacher ratings)?

Creative Subprocess Frequencies and Their Relation to Personal Characteristics and Product Creativity: Insights from a Drawing Task Think Aloud Study Most research on the creative process has focused on idea generation, and the prevalence and influence of many other creative subprocesses remain poorly understood. To clarify different subprocesses'...

Plugging some research from myself and @jamesckaufman.bsky.social, now officially out in JCB. To peer under the hood of the creative process, we analyzed think aloud data that 266 undergraduate students produced during an open-ended drawing task.

I appreciate the responses! This makes a lot of sense and sound like they'd result in a healthier balance.

Any recommendations for an early career professor on approaching end of term grading? I like to give a lot of feedback, but am realizing that providing excessive detail is not sustainable...
