Abstract
This exploratory study investigates the relationship between morning and evening types and creative thinking as defined by Guilford’s factorial hypothesis. The research was carried out on a sample of 120 subjects, 52 males and 68 females aged between 19 and 76. The data show that evening-disposition is correlated with the ability to apply divergent thinking strategies to visual content. There was no significant difference between men and women but many differences were found with respect to age group. These findings suggest the need for in-depth studies to investigate morning and evening types and their relationship with creative thinking.
