ABSTRACTRecent developments in AI compel an update of the “standard definition of creativity.” This short article cites various proposed additions to the standard definition, which point to Surprise, Value, Authenticity, and Intentionality. The latter two are the most useful when distinguishing human from artificial (machine) creativity. Artificial creativity can be contrasted with pseudo-creativity as well as human creativity. Artificial creativity may be the best way to describe the output from AI. Even when that output is original and effective, it lacks the authenticity and intentionality that is apparent in human creativity. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. As of June 2023.

Worldwide, student-centered pedagogies have emerged in education to develop creativity. However, these pedagogies do not automatically enhance students’ creativity, because students tend to underestimate and reject creative ideas – even when highly novel ideas are required to solve the problem at hand. Understanding how students evaluate and select ideas is crucial for enhancing creativity. Therefore, this paper reviews research on idea evaluation and idea selection among students. This paper suggests that the evaluation of ideas depends both on specific and general components, and a mild state of affect and openness to experience seems to play a significant role. To improve idea evaluation and idea selection, students should be exposed to a variety of ideas and effective instructional strategies benefit students as well. Teachers should explicitly instruct students to select creative ideas and encourage them to simultaneously generate and refine ideas. However, instructing students to transform their creative ideas into tangible products may unintentionally influence their choices for creative ideas. Balancing novelty and usefulness pose challenges for students during evaluation and selection, and teachers should attune to students’ reactions as much as possible (e.g. accommodating emotional outbursts). Finally, several future trends and important research questions are highlighted.

ABSTRACTDespite minimal gender differences in creative potential and ability, there are substantial differences in the creative achievement of men and women. This article provides a brief overview of theories attempting to explain the gender gap in creative achievement and describes select research seeking to better understand the underlying assumptions of several of these theories. This work underscores the need for research-supported theories that account for how the dynamic interaction between different levels of analysis influences the gender gap in creative achievement. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. Of the 730 people that have been awarded a Nobel Prize in these categories from 1901 to 2022, there have been 25 women, whereas there have been 27 men named Robert (Nobel Prize, 2023).

Emerging theory and evidence suggest that intergroup relations may stimulate malevolent creativity, but the intergroup foundations of malevolent creativity remain unexplored. Drawing from theories of intergroup conflict, we argue that malevolent creativity can be understood through the lens of parochial altruism, one’s willingness to partake in personally risky activity to harm outgroups (i.e. parochialism) in favor of an ingroup (i.e. altruism). Accordingly, malevolent creativity can be viewed as the willful generation and consideration of novel ideas for oneself to enact harm on an outgroup on behalf of an ingroup. Many instances of parochial altruism such as war or terrorism begin from strong sentiments of ingroup love and become more likely when paired with reasons to aggress against an outgroup. Extending this logic to malevolent creativity, we contend that ingroup affinity predicts malevolent creativity and that this relation grows stronger when people hold hostile attitudes toward the outgroup––or, in the absence of hostility, are directly provoked by outgroup members. We test our propositions in a sample of 307 undergraduate students and find partial support for our predictions.

ABSTRACTResearchers have invested a great deal in creating reliable, “gold-standard” creativity assessments that can be administered in controlled laboratory settings, though these efforts have come at the cost of not using ecologically and face-valid tasks. To help fill this critical gap, we developed and implemented a novel, face-valid paradigm that required participants to paint abstract pieces of art, which were later rated for creative quality. We first sought to evaluate whether there was good convergence among creativity ratings provided by independent raters. Next, we examined whether its measure of creativity correlated with (a) existing creativity measures and (b) individual traits (e.g. openness, fluid intelligence) that are typically correlated with indices of creativity. Our findings indicate that our abstract-painting paradigm is feasible to implement (independent ratings of the creativity of the paintings converged well), and that its measure of creativity significantly correlated with some of the gold-standard indices of creativity (thereby providing convergent validity). These findings suggest that having participants engage in abstract painting provides a valid index of creativity, thereby opening new opportunities for future research to index a more-face-valid measure of creativity. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Declaration statementThe authors report there are no competing interests to declare.Notes1. We also explored how ratings of an expert (i.e., a professional painter) on Painting Creativity scores would affect results. With expert ratings, κ increases from .37 to .38, and EAP reliability increases from 0.78 to 0.81, indicating consistency between the two groups of raters. Before and after addition of expert ratings, rater severity remained similar ([−0.17, 0.67] to [−0.36, 0.61]) and range of scores remained similar ([−1.90, 1.68] to [−2.09, 1.60]). Importantly, correlation with the AUT remains non-significant, from r = .077 to r = .093.
