This study investigated the relationship between creativity, imagery, and sex-role orientation in men and women. Instruments measuring creativity, creative production, imagery, and sex-role orientation were administered to 163 students enrolled in introductory psychology. The results showed that creative ability and vividness of imagery were related in women but not in men, whereas creative ability and creative production were related in men but not in women. Creative ability correlated with femininity whereas creative production correlated with masculinity. The author concluded that: (1) men and women show differing patterns of cognitive functioning in the creative process; and (2) men and women differ in the utilization of their creative capacity possibly due to the influence of sex-role stereotypes.
本研究调查了男性和女性的创造力、意象与性别角色取向之间的关系。对163名选修心理学导论课程的学生进行了测量创造力、创造性成果、意象和性别角色取向的工具测试。结果表明，女性的创造力与意象的生动性相关，而男性则不然；男性的创造力与创造性成果相关，而女性则不然。创造力与女性气质相关，而创造性成果与男性气质相关。作者得出结论：（1）男性和女性在创造过程中表现出不同的认知功能模式；（2）男性和女性在创造性能力的运用上存在差异，这可能是由于性别角色刻板印象的影响。
