Creativity is the generation of products and ideas that are new, valuable, and surprising. Interdisciplinary research in cognitive science makes it clear that creativity does not have to be the mysterious result of divine inspiration. Rather, we can investigate the mental processes that have creative results. This symposium will discuss creativity from a combination of disciplinary vantage poin...

Drawing on the componential theory of creativity, social cognitive theory, and prosocial motivation theory, we examined intrinsic motivation, creative self-efficacy, and prosocial motivation as distinct motivational mechanisms underlying creativity. Results from a meta-analysis of 191 independent samples (N = 51,659) documented in the relevant literature revealed that intrinsic motivation, crea...

There is lot of research going on currently in identification of Autism and also identification of characteristic in autistic people. There is lot of theories put in place. But one of the main issues has been how to measure these characteristics. There has been so much of research in analysis of creativity in autistic individuals.

The development of creativity is necessary for all professionals and universities cannot be exempted from it. According to studies (Acentura, 2007) is one of creativity does not develop skills in universities. Important factors of creativity is the intuition study by many authors but is not a concluded investigation. This paper presents the characteristics of intuition as part of informatics cr...

Social media are known for substantial creativity support, as they allow users exploring, creating, and sharing various types of content. Social 3D virtual worlds, such as Second Life, can also be seen as a social media that have wide possibilities for being creative. In this paper, we explore how 3D virtual worlds can support creativity in educational settings, including creativity of the coll...

We present a novel approach to the computational study of creativity, called artificial creativity. Artificial creativity promotes the study of the creative behaviour of individuals and societies in artificial societies of agents. It is similar to the approach to that taken by Artificial Life researchers involved in developing computational models. We present a framework for developing artifici...

Most studies of human creativity have focused on individuals, assuming that creativity can be defined with respect to the characteristics, processes or activities of extraordinary people. Computational models of creativity have often inherited this assumption and emphasised generative processes to the exclusion of considering social or cultural aspects. This paper presents work to extend comput...

This paper investigates how the creativity of individual team members is related to team creativity, and the influence of climate for creativity in the workplace on individual and team creativity.
