Abstract

Social creativity is a special sort of creativity in the domain of social interaction or activities, and it can be classified into two types: stable trait creativity and instable state creativity. To investigate the effect of network communication on social creativity including trait creativity and state creativity, the Open Questionnaire of Social Creativity for Primary School Children, the Adolescents’ Internet Use Preference Questionnaire, and the Open Questionnaire of Social Creativity for Primary School Children were administered to 650 primary school children randomly selected from grade 3 to grade 6. The result showed that significant positive correlation existed between network communication and trait social creativity instead of state social creativity, furthermore, network communication could predict trait creativity instead of state creativity significantly. This indicates that trait creativity and state creativity may be relatively independent, and network communication affects individual's consistent creative tendencies.
