Abstract Discusses the traditional psychological definition of creativity and explores an expansion of that definition to include the personality-creativity connection. A distinction is made between "little-c" and "big-C" creativity. Little-c creativity is used as an indicator of mental health and includes everyday problem solving. Big-C creativity is rare and generally occurs when a person solves a problem or creates an object that has a major impact on how other people feel, think or live their lives. Other components of creativity, including motivation and intelligence are also explored.

Abstract Investigated whether a women's history of child sexual abuse was a predictor of later violent victimization and if other childhood or situational factors also increased the risk of such victimization. Data was drawn from 206 urban, predominantly low-income women who were victims of abuse before they turned age 13. Ss were followed for a year after their victimization with follow-up interviews 20 years later again 6 years after the initial followup. Analyses of data showed a relationship between abuse and the risk for future victimization. Early abuse is not in itself a risk factor for adult sexual or domestic violence, but girls who were victimized before age 13 and again as adolescents were at a much greater risk. Women who used physical force against her partner or engaged in physical fights were significantly more prone to serious domestic violence often leading to physical assault with injuries.
