초록

창의성의 필요성과 이해에 대한 강조에도 불구하고, 널리 알려져 있지만 과학적 근거가 부족한 창의성에 대한 오해는 창의성 발현에 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 6개국의 참여자들을 대상으로 창의성 신화를 믿는 정도를 파악하고 개인차 변인과의 관계를 살펴본 Benedek 등(2021)을 기반으로, 국내 참여자(N = 668)의 창의성 신화를 믿는 정도를 조사하여 선행 연구의 결과와 비교하고자 하였다. 나아가 창의성과 관련이 있는 개인차 변인들이 창의성 신화에 대한 믿음과 갖는 관련성을 살펴봄으로써 선행 연구를 재현(조사 1) 및 확장(조사 2)하고자 하였다. 자료 분석 결과, 창의성 신화에 대한 보편적 믿음은 국가에 상관없는 일반적인 현상이라고 한 선행 연구 결과를 재확인하였지만, 문화 간 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타나는 결과도 있었다. 신화를 믿는 정도와 개인차 변인 간의 관계에서 권위주의, 대중적 지식 원천에의 의존은 유의한 정적 상관이 나타났고, 신경증과 경험에 대한 개방성은 유의한 관련성이 나타나지 않았으며, 학습 목표지향성은 유의한 부적 상관이, 수행회피 목표지향성은 유의한 정적 상관이 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 효과적인 창의성 교육 및 발현을 돕는 바람직한 방향 설정을 위해 개인의 창의성에 대한 암묵적 이론의 파악 및 과학적 근거에 기반한 창의성의 이해가 우리 사회에 보다 강화되고 공유될 필요가 있음을 시사하였다.

Abstract

Despite the emphasis on the need for, and the understanding of, creativity, creativity myths widely known but devoid of scientific evidence are still hindering the realization of creativity. This study examined the prevalence of creativity myths among South Korean participants(N = 668) via two online surveys measuring different variables and compared the results to those of previous study(Benedek et al., 2021) which revealed the pervasive unfounded assumptions and biases concerning creativity across 6 countries. In addition, this study examined whether individual differences(demographic characteristics, source of knowledge, authoritarianism, perception of self-creativity, openness to experience, and goal orientations) presumably relevant to creativity have significant relationships with belief in creativity myths to replicate (Survey 1) and expand (Survey 2) the findings of the previous study. Results showed that South Korean participants also had stronger beliefs in creativity myths in general (53%). While this confirms previous research suggesting that universal belief in creativity myths is a cross-national phenomenon, it also revealed clear cross-cultural differences between Western countries and South Korea. Furthermore, the belief in creativity myths was related to age, reliance on undependable sources, authoritarianism, and learning and performance avoidance goal orientations. These results of this study suggested that the investigation of implicit theories about individual creativity and the understanding of creativity based on scientific evidence need to be strengthened and shared among children and adults in our society for effective creativity education and releasing the creative potentials of our society.
