The purpose of this research was to test a causal model that explains the relationship between individual characteristics and personal literary eminence, and to examine the sociocultural and political context variables that have affected the development of literary creativity in Chinese civilization. In order to investigate the individual and sociocultural roots of literary creativity, this study utilized two different archival research designs. First, a recursive structural equation model that specifies the individual causes of achieved literary eminence in Chinese civilization was developed and tested. After deletion of one variable (role-model availability) and respecification of several specification errors in the postulated model, the final model emerged. The resulting six-equation model describes the complex causal network interrelating literary eminence, creative productivity, versatility, life span, formal education, creative precociousness, and birth year. Second, a quasi-experimental design (a transhistorical time-series analysis) was utilized to examine the relationship between the development of individual literary creativity and sociocultural and political context variables. Information from Chinese literary histories and social and political archival sources was aggregated to form time series spanning 125 generations of Chinese history (from 600 B.C. to 1900 A.D.). Data quality checks, control variables, data transformation, and generational time-series analysis were used to improve the validity of the causal inferences. The development of literary creativity (unweighted and weighted creativity and creative productivity) was found to be affected by each of the following variables: (a) role-model availability, (b) political fragmentation, and (c) time (control variable).
