The purpose of this study was to examine whether
creativity that was believed to be the most important
concept in advertising processes could be enhanced by
advertising education. In general, creativity is defined
by the product that is novel and appropriate. However,
the definitions of creativity are different depending
on which aspect of creativity is emphasized. Creativity
may be defined by products, processes, people, or evaluation
processes. Previous studies suggest that creativity
are influenced by several factors. The present study
assumed the six resources for creativity were intellectual
ability, knowledge, cognitive style, creative personality,
motivation, and creative environments. The roles of
the six resources in enhancing creativity were examined
based on previous psychological studies on creativity.
The implications that the results of the psychological
studies had on enhancing creativity in advertising education
were examined. Finally, the limitations of the present
study was discussed.
