Creativity, Religiosity, and Political Attitudes

Abstract

Although theoretically proposed in the literature, the direct associations between political attitudes, religion, and creativity have been scarcely explored. A convenience sample of 123 adults working in Israel filled out questionnaires assessing political-social attitudes, religiosity, and background factors (e.g., age, gender, education, and parents’ education) associated with the aforementioned. The How Do You Think test was used to assess creativity in various life areas. Regressions and SEM analysis revealed associations between religiosity, political, and social attitudes, mother's and father's education, and creativity. A preliminary discussion of the result patterns as well as direction for future research follow.
