  • Summary

    In the introductory chapter to the Cambridge Handbook of Creativity and Emotion, we define basic terms in the study of creativity and emotions. We argue about the need for specification of different aspects of creativity under investigation and caution scholars to make conclusions about specific aspects studied, rather than “creativity” in general. This Handbook examined three groups of affective processes: affective states (relatively short-lasting reactions to internal or external stimuli), emotion-related traits (typical ways of feeling), and emotion abilities (capacities to reason about and with emotions, such as in the case of emotional intelligence). Next, we describe the organization of this Handbook into five parts, each addressing a different aspect in the study of creativity, including methodological issues, creative process, creative person, creative product, and creative contexts (school and work). The concluding chapter presents an integrative model of the role of affective processes across aspects of creativity.

  • The Cambridge Handbook of Creativity and Emotions provides a state-of-the-art review of research on the role of emotions in creativity. This volume presents the insights and perspectives of sixty creativity scholars from thirteen countries who span multiple disciplines, including developmental, social, and personality psychology; industrial and organizational psychology; neuroscience; education; art therapy, and sociology. It discusses affective processes – emotion states, traits, and emotion abilities – in relation to the creative process, person, and product, as well as two major contexts for expression of creativity: school, and work. It is a go-to source for scholars who need to enhance their understanding of a specific topic relating to creativity and emotion, and it provides students and researchers with a comprehensive introduction to creativity and emotion broadly.
