https://doi.org/ 10.18384/2310-7235-2016-4-6-14

Abstract

The article presents cross-cultural study of cognitive and personality regulation of creative problem solving. Fifty-four students from Azerbaijan and Russia worked on a creative problem and completed Budner’s Tolerance for Ambiguity Scale (adapted by Kornilova-Chumakova) and Implicit Theories and Leaning Goals Questionnaire (adapted by Kornilova-Smirnov). Persistence in creative problem solving in Azerbaijan sample is related to fixed implicit theories of intelligence and personality; in Russian sample persistence is related to high self-assessed level of academic achievement. In creative problem solving the Azerbaijan students are more oriented on “honesty-dishonesty” criterion, while the Russian students are oriented on searching “beyond the limits” of the formulated problem. This demonstrates the differences in a range of possible directions in dealing with situation of uncertainty in two cultural groups
