The purpose of this investigation is to identify the definition and factor influencing to individual difference of creativity and to examine theoretical perspective of creative behavior.
The interactionist model of creative behavior proposed here provides a comprehensive view of individual differences in creativity that incorporates important elements of personality, cognitive, and social psychology of explanations of creativity.
Creative behavior is a complex person-situation interaction that is influenced by events of that past as well as salient aspects of the current situation. Within the person, both cognitive(e.g., cognitive complexity, divergent thinking, verbal/ideational fluency, problem- solving styles/ approaches, perceptual openess, field independence/dependence) and noncognitive(e.g., locus of control, dogmatism, autonomy, self-esteem, narcissism, intuition) aspects of the mind are related to creative behavior.
The interactionist perspective provides an integrating framework of sufficient complexity to incorporate diverse streams of research and to suggest exciting avenues for future programmatic research on creativity.
