Abstract

This paper examines gender differences in creative thinking ability and creative disposition, creative products and creative self-efficacy. 234 subjects of college students performs target creative tests associated with the different types of creativity and analyzes the differences between the groups. Based on the analysis, the female group shows higher score than the male group in the aspect of flexibility that is a sub-dimension of creativity and cognitive abilities, but the male group has higher scores in the creativity affective characteristic and the creative self-efficacy. On the activity and knowledge test of the creative domain, the female group has higher scores in the area of the art but the male group shows higher scores in the area of the invention. Interestingly, the two groups do not show any significant difference in the real creative achievement related to the creative product assessments. Although the female group tends to score no less capacity than the male group in the divergent thinking ability and the actual product/performance related to the creative ability, in summary, the analysis indicates that the male group is significantly higher for creative disposition and creativity self-reported tests. The study performs a stepwise multiple linear regression on the creative efficacy to investigate the gender difference on the self-efficacy of creative performance and creative achievement for the students in South Korea. The result of multiple regression analyses demonstrates three common variables to predict creative self-efficacy: creative thinking style, interesting/observation, creative activities related to art. The analysis shows the gender differences, in that in addition to those three variables the male group considers the creative personality in but the female group considers the creative activities related to science and the creative product. In other words, the female group judges the creative ability on the basis of more elements and considers the actual result of the experience and knowledge rather than its personality characteristics. To develop creative talents and creativity, it is required to promote a variety of programs and educational efforts for both male and female students. In particular, it is necessary to extend the access opportunity of the science-related activities and experiences for enhancing the self-efficacy of female students.
