wide applications. Preliminary data from six participants reveal an obvious inverted-U curve for
the most difficult items in RAT than the easier items. Theoretical accounts provided for the
curvilinear relationship in the literature will be discussed.
1098.60 Developmental change between urban and rural children on performance in divergent
production, Zhengkui Liu, Jiannong Shi, Xiaohui Song, Institute of Psychology, Chinese
Academy of Sciences, China
This study examined the influence of environment on divergent production of 400 children aged
9,11,13,15 yrs. Two groups, rural children and urban children of same ages, received two tests: use
test and figural divergent thinking test. The results suggest that the performances of all children in
divergent production increased significantly the age increasing, and urban group scored
significantly higher than rural group. However, the differences in divergent thinking between the
rural and urban groups as their age increase. Gender differences in divergent production were not
found among urban children, while boys scored significantly higher than girls among rural
sample.
1098.61 Emotional intelligence and students’ academic achievement, Arménio Rego, Cláudia
Fermandes, University of Aveiro, Portugal
The paper aims at to show how six dimensions of emotional intelligence (emotional sensitiveness,
empathy, emotional self-awareness, use of emotions, emotional awareness of others, emotional
self-control) explain students’ academic achievement. A measure previously developed and
validated by the authors was used. The sample comprises 152 university students. The main
findings are as follow: (a) the six-factor model fits the data well; (b) Cronbach Alphas range
between 0.72 and 0.95; (c) emotional intelligence explains 21% of the variance of students’
academic achievement; (d) emotional sensitiveness, empathy and self-control are the main
predictors.
1098.62 The effect of learning motivation, self efficacy, and knowledge foundation on learning
efficiency, Gangyu Jin, Hongyu Yang, Capital Normal University, China
513 junior school students are investigated by studying strategy scale in this study, and their
learning efficiencies are checked in order to explore the possible factors by which could predict
the efficiency. The junior students are intervened on study motivation and self-efficacy, and we got
the effects on their efficiencies. The study showed that under inner motivation, the one who has
lower self-efficacy has lower efficiency. Meanwhile, total efficiency could be predicted by
intellective basis, inner motivation and positive attribution; also technique efficiency best is
calculated by schema-strategy, and followed with effort-management, gender, behavioral
self-efficacy and outer mutation.
1098.63 The relation between creativity and the experience of knowledge, Guiping Yuan, Zhina
Chen, Hengcai Zhou, Shenyang Normal University, China
The paper refers to the relation between creativity and the experience of knowledge. The creativity
greatly depends on the experience of knowledge. But if someone only has enough experience of
knowledge, he may have great creativity or he does not have great creativity. At last it puts
forward what is reasonable structure of knowledge which is good for creativity and how to deal
