Psychometric Properties of a Creativity Scale Developed by Field and Bischoff in Indian Context

Abstract

A scale developed by Field and Bischoff to measure creativity among students of tertiary education institutions was investigated for its reliability and validity when used to measure creativity among students of tertiary education institutions in India. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the model proposed by Field and Bischoff shows acceptable model fit parameters. Structural equation modelling (SEM) based analysis for psychometric properties revealed excellent reliability and good convergent and discriminant validity of the scale. The study establishes the reliability and validity of the scale for measuring creativity among students of tertiary education institutions.
