A Thai Version of Artistic Creativity Scale in Art Students

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of a Thai version of Artistic Creativity Scale in Art Students.  This scale was developed from the Epstein Creativity Competencies Inventory for Individuals (ECCI-i). It consists of 4 Core Competencies: Capturing (CA), Challenging (CH), Broadening (BR),Surrounding (SU). Participants were 197 Thai undergraduates in art faculty or major in art. Their mean age was 20.51+1.20 Years old. A Pearson’s product- moment correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings revealed that the psychometric properties of the scale demonstrated good reliability with Cronbach’s alpha of .76(.54, .61, .67 and.76for the subscales, respectively). Scale convergent validity was katae123examined and it demonstrated acceptable criterion validity: a negative and linear correlation with the depression scale in DASS-41 (r=-30, p<.01)
