Possibilities Literacy
Introduces Possibilities Literacy as a new meta-framework for engaging with the possible. • Defines five dimensions: Perception, Crafting, Engagement, Stewardship, Mindsets. • Shows how constraints, alternatives, and agency structure possibility-making. • Provides a developmental rubric to assess and cultivate possibility-oriented skills. • Illustrates classroom applications through school-based Possibility Workshops. In an era of rapid change, u…
The Ecology of Creative Engagement
This study introduces a methodologically novel approach to creativity research by simultaneously exploring creative production, consumption, and practice within a unified research design. This integration enables the first systematic analysis of how these three forms of creative engagement co-occur and interact across multiple domains in university students. Participants reported on their creative achievements, time investment, aspirations, compa…
A Model of Creative Aging (Moca)
The Mr. Plumbean Approach
Integrating research from cognitive, social, organizational, and developmental psychology, the present article builds on the idea that constraints play a key role in creativity. The Mr. Plumbean approach, which refers to the willing integration of focusing constraints for creative purposes, emphasizes the role of attitude toward constraints in creativity, the interactive nature of constraints, and the solution constraints provide to the issue of …
How constraints impact creativity
Dynamic Creativity
Existing theories and frameworks generally have regarded creativity as inhering in a person, a task, a situation, or a combination of 2 of these 3 elements. After reviewing these approaches, and frameworks that are based on the interaction of more than 2 components, we propose a Person × Task × Situation synergistic paradigm, according to which creativity is dynamic and can be fully understood only as an interaction of all 3 of the elements. Buil…
Creativity From Constraint Exploration and Exploitation
Using the frameworks of creativity as problem solving and Integrated Constraints in Creativity (IConIC), this article develops the proposal that creativity is best understood in terms of a cycle of constraint exploration and exploitation. This general thesis, which applies to varied domains and levels of creativity, is supported by three specific proposals about the role of constraints in creativity, each of which is developed and illustrated wit…
