Abstract
In a study with 143 undergraduates, correlations were run between scores for (a) insolence and creativity and (b) insolence and adventurousness, under two different conditions: an attractive female served as E or E was a female chosen for her unattractiveness. Significant correlations were obtained for both (a) and (b) among female Ss, but males showed a significant correlation between creativity and insolence only in the condition in which E was an attractive female. Females were significantly less insolent than males. The results have implications for creativity research and for the issue of artifacts in experimental research.Keywords
