Proposed Study
Participants
Thirty undergraduate students will be recruited to participate in this study. At least one student will represent each of the University academic departments. They will be recruited via Ashford University Facebook group. Most of the students are active Facebook users. So, a post inviting volunteers to participate in this study will be read by majority of the students. Each participant will be compensated because they are expected to attend two different sessions. The study will be carried out according to the ethical standards set by Ashford University.
Procedure
All the participants will fill an informed consent form. The form will tell participants that they are participating in a study about temperament and creativity and their responses will not be used for any other purposes apart from this study.
Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) and Formal Characteristics of Behavior - Temperament Inventory (FCB-TI) questionnaire will be administered to participants. FCB-TI will be delivered first then TTCT. So, there will be two sessions. Each of the measures is described below:
FCB-TI. This questionnaire was developed by Strelau and Zawadzi (FCB-TI; Strelau & Zawadzki, 1995). It is used to measure six temperament traits outlined by Regulative Theory of Temperament. The traits are briskness (BR) activity (AC), sensory sensitivity (SS), perseveration (PE), emotional reactivity (ER), and endurance (EN). BR refers to the ability to change from one activity to another.AC is one's ability to engage in numerous activities that are stimulating. SS is the capacity to respond to weak sensory stimulations. ER is the tendency to respond intensively to emotional stimuli.PE refers to the tendency to maintain and repeat actions that are not appropriate anymore. EN is the capacity to behave efficiently in situations that require high external stimulation (Oniszczenko, Stanis?awiak, Dembi?ska-Krajewska, & Rybakowski, 2017)
FCB- TI is a yes-no questionnaire that contains 120 items. Each temperament trait - ER, SS, EN, AC, PE, and BR- has 20 items. The Cronbach alpha for each trait has been estimated to be: BR = 0.77, PE = 0.79, SS = 0.73, ER = 0.83, EN = 0.85, and AC = 0.84 (Oniszczenko et al., 2017) .Therefore, FCB-TI is highly reliable and consistent instrument for measuring an individual temperament.
This questionnaire will be administered first to all participants. It will be undertaken in reserved rooms at the University. The score of each of the trait will be calculated. Temperament score is obtained by adding up the six traits scores.
TTCT. It developed by American Phycologist Ellise Paul Torrence. It is used to measure a person’s creativity (Chavez-Eakle, Lara, & Cruz-Fuentes, 2006). It comprises of several simple sub-tests or tasks which make up the overall test. The test materials consist of two sections- verbal and non-verbal. One of these tasks can be used to measure either specific aspects of a person’s creativity or to provide an overall comprehensive overview of individual creativity. If an individual completes specific set tasks, a creativity score can be calculated only from their performances in the given sub-tasks.
Verbal tests. In this section,...

Relationship between Temperament and Creativity A Review of Literature In seeking to establish the relationship between temperament and creativity, it would be prudent to define both temperament and creativity. However, in so doing, it should be noted that neither term has an assigned definition. Temperament, in the words of Necka and Hlawacz (2013), could be “conceptualized as the biologically rooted, mostly inborn, foundations for personality and other individual traits” (183). Hilda and
Introduction Background Humans faces numerous challenges arising from majorly stress and conflicts in life that interferes with them in one way or the other. These daily predicaments cause one to be temperamental. Temperament is a state where an individual’s behavior and emotions show anger (Drabick and Ribanowitz, 2017). Such altered emotions and actions deprive one sense of focus, reasoning rationally and even having a decorum behavior. Researchers notes that temper is on
P's of Creativity Someone who is not creative probably will not be able to lead effectively, because so much of what it means to be a good leader correlates with what it means to be a creative person. For instance, as Dahiru and Pihie (2016) show, leadership depends upon an individual's ability make decisions in accordance with skills associated with the creative process as defined by the 4 P's (2012).
Eating Disorders How the Perception of Beauty Influences Eating Disorders With everything changing in this society, the aspect of beauty especially when it comes to women has kept changing, sometimes desperately to the extent of individuals adopting extreme behaviors in the pursuit of the ideal 'beauty'. Instances where different kinds of media communicate the significance of physical beauty in the contemporary world and the means of achieving such traits are widespread. The
"Idealists" need a unique identity to be fulfilled and, therefore, value authenticity. They are often skilled in interpretation and tend to be impressionistic. Finally, "Rationals" need mastery and self-control to be satisfied and value logical consistency. They are skilled in analyzing situations but they are often oblivious to the world around them. These characteristics can be used to model how people with certain temperaments will respond to potential online dating
