摘要
The "be creative" instruction has been reported to improve individuals' creativity. However, this "be creative" effect has seldom been examined alone in a synthesis study. This study bridged this gap in the literature and conducted a meta-analysis that examines the "be creative" effect on different dimensions of creativity, using the quality and/or quantity of creative solutions, the focus of the instruction, and control group instructions as the moderators. Results showed that the "be creative" instruction had a moderate effect on creativity (d =.69, p < 0.001) and a significant effect on originality (d =.79, p < 0.001) but no effect on fluency (d =.06, p > 0.1) or flexibility (d =.48, p > 0.1) of the products. Meta-regression analyses revealed the specific roles of the moderators in different situations. Implications of these results for educational settings are considered.
