- W609123510 abstract "This qualitative interview study investigated scientific giftedness, creativity, and academic success among eminent Finnish scientists, 26 male and female professors of the Academy of Finland, who shared their life stories and creativity experiences. The purposes of this study were multifaceted and evolved over time. Originally, the aims of this study were solely to illuminate scientists’ paths to scientific success and to describe their creative processes. Eventually, due to readings of various philosophies and qualitative research methodologies, another purpose related to these interests was added. This purpose was to explore the role of methodology in qualitative research reports. Poststructuralist notions of knowledge guided the interpretation and analysis of the data, which were gathered through phenomenological interviews. The theory work within double practices combined interests in hermeneutical phenomenology and poststructuralism. Differences in theory, data, and interpretation were valued and emphasized in the search of thematic similarities and in the study of the “universal gifted man”. The themes of sameness and difference within scientific giftedness constructed the central part of this report. This report introduces three research segments, all based on separate publications. In the first segment, multilayered interpretations of creativity were analyzed through six metaphors that, taken together, problematized singular definitions and descriptions of creativity. Creativity was seen as a crystal or collage: a complex, multisided phenomenon in which no single interpretation but a variety of approaches was introduced. Creativity among these scientists had similar elements such as uncertainty of productiveness, analytic steps of problem solving, flow, utilization of cooperation, luck, intuition, vision, and external stimulation, but the elements were in flux and connected to time and place. The second research segment utilized the analysis of critical incidents to study meaningful events that promoted scientific giftedness and success. Common themes such as international experience, role of mentors, luck, and deep interest in the domain were identified. Resulting from the second phase of analysis, transformative themes of self-construction of one’s life and reflective mind were discussed. Women’s perspectives were analyzed in the third co-authored segment, in which data were combined from two separate studies. Critical events of Olympians and female Academy professors were divided into two major themes: choices and compromises. Environment and society played a crucial role in promoting Finnish women’s success and choices related to work and family. Support and positive attitudes helped women overcome obstacles, make academic and personal compromises, maintain interest, and actualize their talents. The balance between multiple subjectivities and choices related to beliefs and values enabled a satisfactory and functional union between personal and professional lives. Despite common choices and compromises, the different combinations of critical events did not illuminate one way to success. In this dissertation, empirical research led to the philosophical and methodological discussions. The author has not only utilized the thematic similarities of the data but also extended the analysis to highlight differences and variety of interpretations. Instead of summarizing the conducted research per se, this report turned into an arena of textual experimentation and a location of tension, where the line between data, methodology and ideological assumptions became blurred." @default.
