Abstract
Does indecisiveness-related thoroughness in predecisional information generation extend to divergent thinking contexts? Forty-eight undergraduates completed an indecisiveness scale and a version of the Alternative Uses Test. Indecisiveness was not associated with fluency, flexibility, or originality or response. Thoroughness might emerge only when information generation can reduce choice uncertainty.
