Some people greatly overestimate their creative abilities.
Others greatly underestimate their creativity, attributing it only to geniuses and great figures of the past. Which of these two perspectives makes the most sense,
from a pragmatic and scientific point of view? What does the science say?
Two decades of research in the psychology of creativity convincingly demonstrates that understanding how we perceive creativity in general and our potential in particular plays a critical role in self-regulating our actions. What we think about the nature of creativity and our creative skills is of paramount importance!
In this talk, Maciej Karwowsk will synthesize the theories and research on creative agency, showing when, how and why our confidence and the centrality of creativity are important when we act.
Confidence and the centrality of creativity are important when considering creative activity.
