Abstract:

The aim of the current study is to construct the Remote Associates Test (RAT) in Chinese version, which is based on the theory of associative creativity. Item response theory (IRT) with Binary Logistic Models was used for item selection. Participants were 2659 middle-school students from Guangdong, Gansu, and Hubei Province. Based on the principle of Criterion-Referenced Test, the item difficulty was limited between ?3.00 and 3.00, the item discrimination was limited between 0.30 and 2.50, and the item information was above 0.20. In addition, the RAT scores were positively correlated with scores on the Torrance Test of Creativity, Runco Test, and Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices. Results of RAT were also positively correlated with teachers’ evaluations of creativity and could significantly predict middle-school academic performance. Potential applications of RAT are also discussed.

摘要:

遵循远程联想理论, 筛选适用于中国中学生群体的远程联想测验题本; 运用项目反应理论, 构建双参数模型, 使用来自广东、甘肃和湖北3所中学2659名初中学生的结果进行项目分析检验。遵照标准参照测验的编制原则, 选取难度为3.00~3.00, 区分度为0.30~2.50以及θ(π0)处信息量大于0.20的项目, 编制了中文版远程联想测验(RAT)(计91个项目)。该中文版RAT与托伦斯创造力测验、伦科创造力测验和瑞文智力测验的成绩正相关, 该测验可以预测中学生的学业成绩和教师评价的创造力表现。此外, 还讨论了该测验在实践中的应用价值。
