VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL CREATIVITY AND TOLERANCE FOR UNCERTAINTY OF PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDENTS

Abstract

The article contains results of diagnostics of creativity and tolerance to the uncertainty of psycholo-gy students. An analysis of statistically significant differences in creativity (originality and uniqueness) in students with different levels of uncertainty tolerance showed that students with an average level of to-lerance for uncertainty have higher creativity rates than students with a high level of tolerance for uncer-tainty. On the one hand, these students are characterized by a certain ability to perceive new, ambi-guous, unstructured situations, not as a threatening factor, but as a challenge-containing situation, with-out experiencing pronounced negative emotions. On the other hand, these students are characterized by optimal emotional inclusion, increased activation, a desire to overcome uncertainty, as well as a certain, constructive “intolerance” to uncertainty. This contributes to the production of attempts to solve the situ-ation, find a solution to the problem, activates the creative potential of the person.
