This paper touches briefly several theories of creativity used for the past two decades. It then suggests a behavioral model in which methods of fostering creativity are considered as measurable independent variables. Other personality correlates, such as attitudes and motives, cognition and imagery, and psychomotor factors are considered as second-order intervening variables. Simpler and relatively less complex behavior patterns as affect, cognition, and psychomotor (creative interaction) are conceived as first-order intervening variables manipulable and externalizable as creative motivation, ability, and interaction, are conceived as measurable dependent variables. The various dimensions of the model, cognitive, affective and psychomotor-functioning, are seen as interdependent
