The significance of indirect effect was tested by bootstrapping at .05 level. The results of this study were: (1) in both ages 4 and 5, playfulness had a direct and positive influence on communication skills, (2) in both ages, communication skills had a direct and positive effect on creative characteristics, and (3) the 5-year-old children's playfulness had a direct effect on creative characteristics, the 4-year-old children's playfulness did not exert direct influence onto creative characteristics. Communication skills 5-year-old children were seen to precipitate a partial mediation effect between playfulness and creative characteristics. At age 4, communication skills played a full mediation variable role between playfulness and creative characteristics.

The study investigated cognitive and creative characteristics related to creative problem solving of intellectually gifted and average children. Fourth and 6th graders from elementary schools in I and B cities and gifted classes in K and I cities were administered the KEDI group IQ test and categorized into gifted(above IQ 125) and average(IQ 90-109) groups. A total of 371 children were selected through this procedure and were tested on formal operational tasks, general metacognitive knowledge, creativity characteristics scales, and creative problem solving tasks. Gifted children were superior to average children on all cognitive and creativity characteristics. For the gifted, grade and metacognition were significant predictors of creative problem solving in the verbal area, and all cognitive and creativity characteristics were significant predictors in the math area. For the average children, grade and metacognition were significant predictors of creative problem solving in the verbal area, and only grade was a significant predictor in the math area.

This study aims at analyzing the relationship between team characteristic and innovation performance. The mediating effect of creative climate on the team characteristic and innovation performance is also measured. Based upon literature review, individual creative characteristics, team diversity, team cohesion, task characteristics are presented as antecedents of team characteristic. Creative climate affects the creative behavior and innovative performance. Creative climate is measured as the Team Climate Inventory (TCI) proposed by Anderson & West (1998) including goal, participative-autonomy and innovative-support. Data were collected from 186 survey responses (54 Teams) out of total 462 (69 teams) from the R&D department of a major ICT firm in Korea. Empirical results show the diversity, cohesion, job characteristic, individual creative characteristic have a positive effect on the creative climate and innovation performance. The participative-autonomy climate factor appears to mediate the relationship between team characteristic (diversity, cohesion, job and individual characteristics) and innovation performance. However, the mediating effects of goals and innovative-support factors were not significant statistically. It was confirmed that the organization can contribute to improve the team innovation performance by facilitating a autonomy and participative climate as well as fostering the team characteristic.

This research suggests a new idea conception method for creative thinking to develop a creative fashion design. The common characteristics of the design area, the unique characteristics of the fashion design, and idea conception method for creative thinking were analyzed and reviewed to develop a creative fashion design research model. Based on this, the fashion design research model was planned through an attempt to graft a new idea conception method on an existing method to utilize the advantage of it suitable for fashion design characteristics and designated as an idea conception method for a creative fashion design research model. We developed 10 designs with a full awareness of the research model steps; subsequently, the effectiveness was confirmed through the evaluation phase of the research model that utilized the idea conception method. This research has significance in that the research model utilizing idea conception method that rarely addressed in precedent research was developed with the idea conception method as a research subject by drawing the characteristics for an idea conception of fashion design and new approach was tried that emphasized the advantages of the existing method.
