Automated assessment of creativity in multilingual narratives
Researchers and educators interested in creative writing need a reliable and efficient tool to score the creativity of narratives, such as short stories. Typically, human raters manually assess narrative creativity, but such subjective scoring is limited by labor costs and rater disagreement. Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable success on creativity tasks, yet they have not been applied to scoring narratives, including multilingual…
Creative Cognition: A Collaborative Research Agenda
Creative cognition research has flourished in recent decades, revealing how extraordinary creative outcomes emerge from ordinary cognitive processes. However, the field faces fragmentation that hinders consensus and integration. This research agenda, developed through a collaborative workshop of 50 European researchers at the Lorentz Centre in Leiden, the Netherlands, identifies four critical challenges for advancing creative cognition research. …
Seeing the Future Through Colored Glasses: Heuristics and Biases in Futures Thinking
This paper explores the key role played by heuristics and biases in futures thinking. Heuristics and biases shape how individuals and groups envision futures, often leading to errors or narrower scenarios. Twenty-five common heuristics and biases related to future-oriented thinking have been identified from previous literature and classified into three categories. The Cherry Picking category includes nine heuristics and biases that may impact inf…
Trust in human–AI collaboration in finance: A bibliometric–systematic literature review
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming deeply embedded in financial services, including credit scoring, robo-advisory, trading, compliance, and reporting. In these contexts, failures of trust in human–AI collaboration do not merely affect technology adoption but raise fiduciary, reputational, and systemic concerns. Yet, despite its centrality, trust remains conceptually fragmented and inconsistently operationalized across the literature. To add…
When DA Vinci Met Wallas: Extended Modeling of the Creative Process
By positing the centrality of process‐oriented definitions of creativity, the article revisits Graham Wallas's The Art of Thought , showing that its legacy extends beyond the canonical four‐stage model for the creative process. We first extract from Wallas's book some lesser known details that are proxies of metacognitive and emotional control. Second, we trace a century of theoretical development in models of the creative process, discussing how…
Creativity Studies Continues to Evolve: A New Generation of Rising Stars, a New Special Issue
In 2009, there was a special issue of Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts devoted to rising stars in the field with 13 papers representing 15 young scholars. In the years, the field has grown and advanced. This special issue offers 19 papers by rising stars in the field of Creativity Studies. Papers focus on an array of topics, with the creative process, education, everyday creativity, theory, and measurement leading the way. There…
Am I Still Creative? The Effect of Artificial Intelligence on Creative Self‐Beliefs
The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping society, highlighting the need to better understand its implications for human creativity. This investigation explores the relationship and differences between people's general creative self‐beliefs and their creative self‐beliefs in an AI‐specific context (i.e., while using AI tools). It further investigates the role played by AI‐specific creative self‐beliefs and AI‐augmented creative acti…
Cognitive mechanisms in foresight: A bridge between psychology and futures studies
Multilingual semantic distance: Automatic verbal creativity assessment in many languages
Creativity research commonly involves recruiting human raters to judge the originality of responses to divergent thinking tasks, such as the alternate uses task (AUT). These manual scoring practices have benefited the field, but they also have limitations, including labor-intensiveness and subjectivity, which can adversely impact the reliability and validity of assessments. To address these challenges, researchers are increasingly employing autom…
What inspires us? An experimental analysis of the semantic meaning of irrelevant information in creative ideation
Past research showed that apparently irrelevant information for a creative task at hand can lead to higher creative performance, especially in open-minded individuals. Through two diverse experimental procedures, the present work investigated which type of irrelevance information can inspire (i.e., increase) the creative performance during a divergent thinking (DT) task and how open-minded individuals can be inspired by this kind of information. …
Dopamine supports idea originality: The role of spontaneous eye blink rate on divergent thinking
The neurotransmitter dopamine plays a crucial role in human creative behaviour. Specifically, striatal dopamine seems to be associated with specific dimensions of divergent thinking performance, especially with categorical diversity (flexibility) of ideas. In experimental contexts, spontaneous Eye Blink Rate (sEBR) has been used as a proxy for striatal dopamine, and an inverted U-shape relationship between sEBR and flexibility has been demonstrat…
Artificial Intelligence & Creativity: A Manifesto for Collaboration
With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), the field of creativity faces new opportunities and challenges. This manifesto explores several scenarios of human–machine collaboration on creative tasks and proposes “fundamental laws of generative AI” to reinforce the responsible and ethical use of AI in the creativity field. Four scenarios are proposed and discussed: “Co‐Cre‐AI‐tion,” “Organic,” “Plagiarism 3.0,” and “Shut down,” each illustrat…
Beyond the adjacent possible: On the irreducibility of human creativity to biology and physics
In this article, the problem of understanding multiple layers of complexity in our universe is addressed, with particular emphasis on explaining creative evolutions in the material, biological, and psycho-social layers. Perspectives from physics, biology, psychology, and philosophy are utilized in the discussion. Process philosophy is used to justify the theoretical foundation of the dynamic universal creativity process. The concepts of unified a…
This is My Fairy Tale: How Emotional Intelligence Interacts with a Training Intervention in Enhancing Children's Creative Potential
Creative potential is a set of multidimensional resources concerning the latent ability to produce original and adaptive work. Confluent theoretical models, in particular, stated that, in order to express creative potential in an effective way, resources should converge and interact efficiently. Within such a confluent framework, the present study explored whether the increase in specific cognitive resources defining creative potential during chi…
Advancing Creativity Theory and Research: A Socio‐cultural Manifesto
This manifesto, discussed by 20 scholars, representing diverse lines of creativity research, marks a conceptual shift within the field. Socio‐cultural approaches have made substantial contributions to the concept of creativity over recent decades and today can provide a set of propositions to guide our understanding of past research and to generate new directions of inquiry and practice. These propositions are urgently needed in response to the t…
Potential in Creativity: Individual, Social, Material Perspectives, and a Dynamic Integrative Framework
In this article, the notion of potential as discussed within creativity research is examined. It is noted that there are multiple, sometimes competing, understandings of potential within the literature with the biggest gaps existing between individual perspectives, on the one hand, and sociocultural perspectives on the other. Affirming that a comprehensive understanding of potential needs to consider what individual, social, and material perspect…
Potential Originality and Effectiveness: The Dynamic Definition of Creativity
Given the central role of creativity in the future post-information society, a call for a pragmatist approach to the study of creativity is advocated, that brings as a consequence the recognition of the dynamic nature of this phenomenon. At the foundation of the proposed new theoretical framework lies the definition of creativity itself, which is turned from static to dynamic through the introduction of the concept of potential originality and ef…
