An Instructions by Locus of Control Interaction Effect on Ideational Fluency.
Houtz, John C.; Coll, Joan H.
Educational Research Quarterly, v4 n4 p49-53 Win 1979
Undergraduates were instructed to generate ideas for a divergent thinking task--ideas which would or would not be likely to be generated by others. When locus of control (LOC) was compatible with the instructions, more ideas were generated. Self-ratings of creativity were not affected by instructions or LOC. (Author/GDC)
