Description
This study explores the dispositional and environmental differences among creative people in different domains and their domain-specific creativity based on their interactions within their field. Different personality traits and domain differences in the severity of psychopathology contrasted among natural scientists, social scientists, humanists, and artists. In addition, different environmental trends, such as birth order and family background are demonstrated. Learn how 4 doctoral students in different domains interact within their fields/social systems (e.g. comprehensive exams) by analyzing the relationship between their different dispositional/environmental traits and their field systems.
