Creativity is often associated with people experiencing sudden flashes of inspiration and understanding. These type of experiences have been called insights or “Aha!” moments. “Aha!” moments or insightful solutions are often described as answers that suddenly appear in the mind, with little effort, and extreme confidence that the answer is correct. This can be contrasted with incremental or analytically solved problems where solutions are reached through effortful, deliberate, and strategically application of prior knowledge.

Current research indicates that psychological aggression can lead to physical aggression. Thus, accurate measures of psychological aggression can be used to quell future physical aggression. However, unsound psychometric properties and fragmented definitions have diminished the accuracy of current psychological aggression scales. The purpose here is to create a sound psychological aggression scale. This part of the study focused on pilot testing preliminary items written to capture behaviors that constitute psychological aggression. An analysis revealed that some preliminary items required removal because of their abnormal distributions. The next step is to field test the items to establish the factor structure of …
