Resumen
En base a un estudio previo que indica que el constructo creatividad operacionalizado con el Test de Pensamiento Creativo de Torrance (TTCT) de Figuras está compuesto por dos factores Innovación y Adaptación, en niños de habla hispana (Krumm, Lemos & Arán Filippetti, en prensa), el objetivo de este trabajo fue comprobar si esta estructura es invariante según la edad de los sujetos. Se trabajó con una muestra de 652 niños y adolescentes de 9 a 17 años de ambos sexos de habla hispana divididos en tres grupos: (a) 9-10 años, (b) 11-13 años y (c) 16-17 años. El Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) mostró que la estructura del TTCT está integrada por dos factores correlacionados, Innovación y Adaptación en las tres muestras de estudio. Además, los resultados del AFC multigrupo revelaron que la estructura de dos factores es invariante (configural y métrica) a través del edad, lo que significa que los niños y adolescentes conceptualizan el constructo Creatividad de la misma manera. Finalmente, el análisis multivariado de varianza (MANOVA) reveló un efecto significativo de la edad en todas las subescalas. Estos datos muestran la importancia de la edad como un factor a tener en cuenta en el estudio del potencial creativo a través del TTCT-Figuras.
On the basis of a previous study carried out with Spanish-speaking children which indicates that the Creativity construct, operationalized by means of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT)-Figural, consists of two factors –Innovation and Adaptation– (Krumm, Lemos & Arán Filippetti, in press), the objective of the present work was to prove whether this structure is invariant across age. A sample of 652 Spanish-speaking children and adolescents aged 9-17 years of both sexes was tested. It was in turn divided into three age groups: (a) 9-10, (b) 11-13 and (c) 16 -17 years. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) showed that in each group of the sample, the structure of the TTCT is composed of two correlated factors, namely Innovation and Adaptation. In addition, Multigroup CFA demonstrated that the two-factor solution was actually invariant (configural and metric) across age, meaning that children and adolescents equally conceptualize the Creativity construct. Finally, MANOVA showed a significant age effect on every subscale. These data suggest the relevance of considering the age factor when assessing the creative potential through the TTCT-Figural.
