Students of creativity have long been interested in the relationship between creativity and deviant behaviors such as criminality, mental disease, and unethical behavior. In the present study we wished to examine the relationship between creative thinking skills and ethical decision-making among scientists. Accordingly, 258 doctoral students in the health, biological, and social sciences were asked to complete a measure of creative processing skills (e.g., problem definition, conceptual combination, idea generation) and a measure of ethical decision-making examining four domains, data management, study conduct, professional practices, and business practices. It was found that ethical decision-making in all four of these areas was related to creative problem-solving processes with late cycle processes (e.g., idea generation and solution monitoring) proving particularly important. The implications of these findings for understanding the relationship between creative and deviant thought are discussed.
长期以来，研究创造力的学者一直对创造力与犯罪、精神疾病和不道德行为等越轨行为之间的关系感兴趣。在本研究中，我们希望考察科学家的创造性思维技能与道德决策之间的关系。因此，我们邀请了258名健康、生物和社会科学领域的博士生，让他们完成一项创造性加工技能测试（例如，问题定义、概念组合、想法产生）以及一项道德决策测试，该测试考察数据管理、研究行为、专业实践和商业实践这四个领域。研究发现，这四个领域中的道德决策都与创造性解决问题的过程有关，其中后期循环过程（例如，想法产生和解决方案监控）尤为重要。我们还讨论了这些发现对于理解创造性思维与越轨思维之间关系的意义。
