Abstract
This study specifically investigated the relationship between creativity and mental health.Forty-seven male undergraduate college students between 18 and 24 years of age were given tape-recorded clinical interviews and a battery of creativity tests. Three experienced clinical psychologists rated each subject's interview on a 4-point mental health scale. Other judges rated the interviews on Rogers, elements of creativity, i.e., (1) Openness to experience; (2) Internal locus of evaluation; (3) Spontaneity. The results were interpreted as empirically supporting the theoretical position that there is a positive correlation between mental health and creativity. Specifically it lends validity to Rogers’ postulations concerning the elements which comprise creativity.
