Since 1950 Guilford promoted creativity research, the quality and quantity of creativity studies have increased substantially. Several programs have been designed for such purpose worldwide. The competitiveness of nations assesses innovation status among different countries as well. However, no study aims to analyze the recent research trends in creativity academic journal since 2000; therefore, this study analyzed three major creativity journals from 2000 to 2011 using the content analysis. This study employed Mayer (1999)¡¦s approach, and integrated the Runco (2004)¡¦s research topics for coding foundation. The uniqueness of this study was to provide the research trend from 760 creativity research literature in the past 11 years, and directions for future development. Results showed that the first three research approaches adopted were psychometric, experimental and contextual approach respectively. As for research topics, most of the articles elaborated on cognitive process, and then on personality. After 2006, however, the topics of personality shifted to education. The participants were mainly from higher education stage but rarely from preschool or retirees. Regarding international comparisons, the USA was the major output country. The rank of publish number in different countries was correlated with the rank of the innovation scores in the Global Competitiveness Report (GCR) of World Economic Forum (WEF). More journals and further investigations are needed for future studies. And also develop the creativity research area in different methodology and cultural system.

American bureaucracies are often assigned inconsistent goals, expectations, roles, and functions (Goodsell, 2004; Lipsky, 2010), exemplified in probation by Klockars’ (1972) classical dilemma of corrections that describes a punitive-rehabilitative dichotomy. A failure to prepare bureaucrats in corrections to address the classical dilemma this results in probation officers (POs) making decisions between and among competing options that consequently generally emphasize only one of the primary goals of probation (Ellsworth, 1990). This dissertation offers insight into and prompts rethinking of how corrections agencies prepare POs to address the classical dilemma. Few studies focus on how organizations educate POs to address the classical dilemma. This dissertation applies ethnographic content analysis to examine the messages communicated to correctional probation officers in the 95 lessons of the curriculum used by Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) to train new officers. To analyze the data and the meaning conveyed by the FDC I applied Saldana’s (2016) 5Rs framework of rules, routines, roles, rituals, and relationships. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2020. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Regardless of culture or nation, students today are experiencing bullying via technology. With the rise of technology, this abuse has the ability to become more far-reaching, and more pervasive than ever. These students face oppression, and in some cases severe imbalances of power. Current research is being conducted and laws created based on varying operational and conception definitions of the term "cyberbullying." This study aims to analyze and provide a coherent definition for the term "cyberbullying" as it is used in research and legislation, especially in the context of today's educational environments. The results help shed light on the large variances in the term and suggestions are made to clarify the definition as the field continues to move forward.
