Verification and Preliminary Application of Chinese Version of Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale

Abstract

Abstract: To verify the applicability of Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale(K-DOCS)in Chinese samples, the English version was converted to the Chinese version by standard procedure. There were 441 undergraduates from a key university in Beijing participated in the survey. SPSS 20.0 and Mplus7.0 software were used for item analysis, reliability and validity test. The results showed that internal consistency coefficients of five dimensions′(everyday, scholarly, performance, science/mechanical and artistic creativity) in Chinese version of K-DOCS was good(0.80-0.91). So were construct validity, content validity and criterion validity. Chinese version of K-DOCS has acceptable psychometric characteristics. It can be used as a valid measurement tool for evaluating creativity across domains in Chinese undergraduates.

Key words: domains of creativity, reliability, validity.
