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…

Baer, John – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2017
"Creativity" is an abstract concept. To make progress, creativity research needs to think about creativity in more concrete ways.

Baer, John – Roeper Review, 2015
Although creativity and expertise are related, they are nonetheless very different things. Expertise does not usually require creativity, but creativity generally does require a certain level of expertise. There are similarities in the relationships of both expertise and creativity to domains, however. Research has shown that just as expertise in…

Baer, John – Creativity Theory and Action in Education, 2017
Creativity brings joy, wonder, efficiency, excitement, and pleasure into our lives. Although creativity can also be malevolent (see, e.g., Cropley et al., Creat Res J 20(2):105-115, 2008), for the most part creativity makes life better, and most of us would like to have and to experience more of it. Nurturing creativity is therefore something that…

Barbot, Baptiste; Baer, John – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2016
The skills, knowledge, attitudes, motivations, and personality traits that lead to creative thinking and creative behavior do not exist--and do not develop--in a vacuum. They are inextricably tied to content, to domains, in particular, and they therefore vary by domains. The more we learn about creativity, the more we discover how domain specific…

Kaufman, James C.; Baer, John – Creativity Research Journal, 2012
The Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT) is a common creativity assessment. According to this technique, the best judges of creativity are qualified experts. Yet what does it mean to be an expert in a domain? What level of expertise is needed to rate creativity? This article reviews the literature on novice, expert, and quasi-expert creativity…

Beghetto, Ronald A.; Kaufman, James C.; Baer, John – Teachers College Press, 2015
Creativity and the Common Core State Standards are both important to today's teachers. Yet, for many educators, nurturing students' creativity seems to conflict with ensuring that they learn specific skills and content. In this book, the authors outline ways to adapt existing lessons and mandated curricula to encourage the development of student…

Baer, John – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2012
A growing body of research evidence suggests that creativity is very domain-specific and that domain-general skills or traits contribute little to creative performance. The term "creativity" is a convenient term for collecting many interesting artifacts, processes, and people into a single category, and the term "creative thinking…

Kaufman, James C.; Beghetto, Ronald A.; Baer, John; Ivcevic, Zorana – Learning and Individual Differences, 2010
Creative polymathy at the very highest levels is rare, but this is largely the result of a long period of training usually necessary to become proficient in any field. We explain why creative polymathy is not ruled out by arguments for the domain specificity of creativity and argue that consideration of multiple levels of creativity (Big-C, Pro-c,…

Tang, Chaoying; Baer, John; Kaufman, James C. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2015
To study implicit concepts of creativity in computer science in the United States and mainland China, we first asked 308 Chinese computer scientists for adjectives that would describe a creative computer scientist. Computer scientists and non-computer scientists from China (N = 1069) and the United States (N = 971) then rated how well those…

Kaufman, James C.; Cole, Jason C.; Baer, John – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2009
Several thousand subjects completed self-report questionnaires about their own creativity in 56 discrete domains. This sample was then randomly divided into three subsamples that were subject to factor analyses that compared an oblique model (with a set of correlated factors) and a hierarchical model (with a single second-order, or hierarchical,…

Kaufman, James C.; Baer, John; Cole, Jason C. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2009
The Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT) argues that the most valid judgments of the creativity are those of the combined opinions of experts in the field. Yet who exactly qualifies as an expert to evaluate a creative product such as a short story? This study examines both novice and expert judgments of student short fiction. Results indicate a…

Baer, John; Kaufman, James C. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2008
Research on gender differences in creativity, including creativity test scores, creative achievements, and self-reported creativity is reviewed, as are theories that have been offered to explain such differences and available evidence that supports or refutes such theories. This is a difficult arena in which to conduct research, but there is a…

Kaufman, James C.; Lee, Joohyun; Baer, John; Lee, Soonmook – Thinking Skills and Creativity, 2007
The consensual assessment technique (CAT) is a measurement tool for creativity research in which appropriate experts evaluate creative products [Amabile, T. M. (1996). "Creativity in context: Update to the social psychology of creativity." Boulder, CO: Westview]. However, the CAT is hampered by the time-consuming nature of the products (asking…

Peer reviewedBaer, John; Kaufman, James C. – Roeper Review, 2005
One of the most contentious areas in creativity theory is the question of domain specificity. How we conceptualize creativity--as something that transcends content domains, or as something that varies depending on the domain in question--has important implications for both creativity research and creativity training programs. The Amusement Park…
