Abstract
The study examined the effect of setting creative goals of different specificity on judged creativity of the product. Female psychology students (N=47) were divided in 3 groups. Experimental task was to make a collage. Groups differed in the level of specificity of the given goal. Collages were judged by 11 judges using the consensual assessment technique. Factor analysis of these judgments confirmed 2 orthogonal factors: creativity and technical goodness. Results show that setting a specific creative goal has positive effects on the creativity of the product. Setting creative goals of different specificity level did not have an effect on judged technical goodness. Results are interpreted in terms of the goal-setting theory.
