Abstract

The study investigated the content analysis, structural tendencies and indigenization of creativity, intelligence and gifiedness in research in the Arab world. The sample for the study constituted 50 studies both empirical (n =35), and theoretical (n = 15), in 18 journals, local (n =15) and international (n =3), published from 1984 to 1997. The study showed that Arab research is characterized by a single paradigm, which is a descriptive or psychometric one, in contrast to worldwide research which employs multiple types of designs. The study showed, in general, that the process of indigenizing of psychology is slow, compared to that achieved in India. However, research published by Arab psychologists in international journals and in allied fields are more sensitive to the local culture than research published in regional journals. The study suggested the need for both indigenous and cross-cultural studies of creativity, intelligence and giftedness, which can lead to the development of global understanding.
