The Correlation between a Person’s Chronotype and the Dimensions of his/her Creativity

Psychology 100

Abstract

(This is a proposal for a study to explore whether or not the chronotype of a person affects his/her creativity. Creativity, in the context, is defined as the ability to generate ideas or products that are both novel and appropriate to the circumstances. Its two dimensions are originality and functionality. Chronotype is defined as the totality of factors, associated with circadian rhythms, that determine if an individual is most alert in the morning or evening. Its two main dimensions are Morningness and Eveningness. While the people that wake up early and are more active in the morning are referred to as Morning lacks, the people that stay up late and are more active at night are referred to as Night Owls. The participants of this study will consist of the two groups; Night owls and Morning larks. Both groups will be places into two different settings where they will be giving a set of divergent questions to answer. The first setting will acquire the attributes of a regular day during daytime while the second setting will acquire the attributes of a regular day during nighttime. After both groups complete both tasks, we will asses their scores based on … scales, in regards to the setting they were place in.
