| Popis: | This study examined relationships between creativity and subclinical autistic traits in a sample of students. The links between autistic traits and cognitive (performance-based) and personality-related (self-reported) creativity were assessed by means of structural equation modeling. It was demonstrated that while the latent factor of creativity composed of self-report scales was negatively linked to autistic traits, the latent factor of cognitive creativity was positively related to them. A follow-up analysis with the focus on people whose scores classified them as having broad autism phenotype (BAP) and matched controls selected on a basis of propensity score matching demonstrated that while personality-related factor of creativity was negatively linked to the likelihood of being classified as BAP, cognitively-related creativity was not related to BAP. We discuss the reasons for unsystematic links between creativity and autism, focusing on potential sources of variability that stem from self-reported versus performance-based measures of creativity and from the possibility of non-linear links between these characteristics. |
