Producción Divergente Explicativa: La relación entre resiliencia y creatividad

. The aim of the study is to describe and analyze a new test and construct Diverse Explanatory Production (DEP), defined as the ability to observe adverse situations from various points of view. At the theoretical level is a bridge between the reformulated model of learned helplessness as a model of resilience, with creative intelligence. In this paper the relationship between DEP with creative intelligence, as well as gender differences are studied. Method. The sample consisted of 89 participants 1st and 2nd of ESO from seven schools in the Region of Murcia which were applied two tests to measure the relationship between DEP and creativity. Correlational analysis, regression and difference of independent means on gender and low or high DEP were performed. Results. The various statistical analyzes were applied to reflect participants produced more causal explanations in general and more resilient causal explanations in particular regarding hypothetical adversities associated with greater creative intelligence. No significant gender differences were found. Discussion. Being interesting results, by relating the resilient explanatory style with creativity, new studies, with larger samples is necessary to study the relationship with other related variables (cognitive flexibility, flexibility explanatory, dispositional optimism, curiosity etc) as well as studying its role in mediators assumptions about improving preventive interventions and treatment of emotional problems.
