Sure, I'm Creative—But Not in Mathematics!: Self-Reported Creativity in Diverse Domains

James C. Kaufman, John Baer · 1 Jul 2004

The degree to which creativity is domain-specific or domain-general remains hotly contested, but there is at least one area of agreement: people have different creativity profiles. In this study, we asked 241 students to give self-ratings of their creativity in different domains. These ratings were then studied for inter-correlations. We also examined how such self-assessments…

Do People Prefer Curved Objects? Angularity, Expertise, and Aesthetic Preference

Paul J. Silvia, Christopher M. Barona · 19 Dec 2008

Do people prefer curved lines, shapes, and objects over angular lines, shapes, and objects? Angularity is one of the oldest variables in the psychology of aesthetics, but past research has not always controlled for potential confounds. Two experiments manipulated angularity while controlling for symmetry, prototypicality, and balance. Study 1 used arrays of circles and hexagons…

Cognitive Appraisals and Interest in Visual Art: Exploring an Appraisal Theory of Aesthetic Emotions

Paul J. Silvia · 1 Jul 2005

Since Berlyne's seminal research, the study of experimental aesthetics has examined interest as a response to art. The present research explores the implications of appraisal theories of emotion for the study of interest as an emotion relevant to aesthetics. Participants viewed pictures of modern experimental visual art and rated each picture for interest and for…

The Assessment of Art Attributes

Anjan Chatterjee, Page Widick, Rebecca Sternschein et al. · 1 Jul 2010

Neuropsychological investigations of art production and perception have the potential to offer critical insight into the biology of visual aesthetics. Thus far, however, investigations of art production in patients have been limited to anecdotal observations and investigations of art perception are non-existent. Progress in the field is hampered by the lack of an adequate instrument…

Visual Complexity and Beauty Appreciation: Explaining the Divergence of Results

Marcos Nadal, Enric Munar, Gisèle Marty et al. · 1 Jul 2010

Although a number of studies have verified Daniel Berlyne's (1971) predicted maximum preference for intermediately complex stimuli, others have found that preference increased or decreased in relation to complexity. The objective of the present work was to assess whether differences in the kinds of stimuli used in prior studies or in the way complexity was…
