Abstract: Stress, gender and creativity were factorially combined to assess their effect on anagram performance. Stress was induced by informing subjects that the experimental task was selected for them due to their poor performance on past intelligence tests. Subjects were divided into low and high creativity groups based on Barron-Welsh Art Scale Scores. Results indicated that stressful instructions facilitated anagram performance for high creatives and that non-stressful instructions facilitated performance performance for low creatives.
