This study examined the relationship between structured imagination and creativity in story writing. Subjects produced phrases or paragraphs (image descriptions) that were meaningful/original, meaningful/nonoriginal, or nonmeaningful/nonoriginal. Then they wrote stories incorporating these phrases and paragraphs. Results showed that subjects in groups 1 and 2 wrote psychologically meaningful stories significantly more than subjects in group 3, and that subjects in group 2 wrote original stories significantly more than subjects in group 3. Also, these differences were moderately related to the qualities of meaning and originality of early ideas. In addition, the perceived emotional importance of story phrases was moderately related to psychological meaning. This suggests that the reader's perception of meaningful portrayal of characters may be necessary to produce emotionally important ideas.
