Ep36. Do Artistic Values Determine Creative Success?

"The Value-Orientations of Art Students as Determinants of Artistic Specialization and Creative Performance" J. W. Getzels and M. Csikszentmihalyi This research article from the Studies in Art Education journal examines the value orientations of art students and their relation to artistic specialisation and creative performance. The authors, J. W. Getzels and M. Csikszentmihalyi, conducted a study at a prestigious art school, using the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values to measure value orientations and exploring how these values correlate with measures of intelligence, divergent thinking, and creative performance. They found that art students tend to have higher Aesthetic and lower Economic and Social values than students in other fields. Notably, the study revealed that female art students' values were more closely linked to their father's educational level and their cognitive style.
