Social Psychology of Creativity: Concept, Methods, Trends and Topics
Abstract
Creativity is one of the most profound needs of humanity as it allows realization of optimal experience and self-actualization. However, despite its social interest and acknowledged importance, creativity has been underinvestigated as a scientific research topic in the field of psychology. One main reason for this disregard is that researchers are suspicious of the validity of the definition and of its methodology which is largely grounded on the psychometric tradition of creativity research where creativity is defined as a divergent thinking ability. On the other hand, the concept and methodology of creativity that is defined in the sociocultural context as a creative process and the individual who produces both nevel and useful products are appropriate as a scientific research topic. Especially, social psychological research of creativity that follows this sociocultural concept and methodology contributes to the comprehensive understanding of creativity in its own special way. In this article,we describe definition, methodology and research trends of social psychology of creativity in attempt to contribute to the advancement of this field of study. We review social psychology of creativity in a special attention to the meaning of each study as we structuralize its trends as (a) Theories for process and system, focusing on creating process' temporal and procedural integrity and its social system; (b) Theories for context and motivation,covering the effect and context of creator's state motivation, flow and emotion; and (3) Theories for group process, focusing on creating process where more than one creator is involved, that define factors that make a group become creative in an effective way. Finally, based upon the relation between three trends, we discussed the contribution of social psychology of creativity to understand creativity itself as a whole and to understand korean creativity.
