在这项研究中，通过对论文摘要进行分析来调查当代创造力研究。使用与创造力相关的关键词从在线数据库中收集样本。摘要按学科、研究方面（特征、过程或产品）、分析的社会水平（个人、群体、组织或文化）和研究方法（经验与理论；定量与定性）进行编码。建立分类树是为了探索学科及其术语、研究方面和社会分析水平之间的关系。结果表明，创造力和创新这两个术语在一些学科中可以互换使用，并且在单一学科内产生了在方面和社会层面上多样化的创造力研究。除了表明学科活动重叠之外，这些发现还表明了研究方面和社会层面的新趋势。
In this study, contemporary creativity research was investigated by conducting an analysis of dissertation abstracts. Keywords relating to creativity were used to collect a sample from an online database. The abstracts were coded by discipline, research aspect (trait, process, or product), social level of analysis (individual, group, organization, or culture), and research approach (empirical vs. theoretical; quantitative vs. qualitative). Classification trees were built to explore the relationships between disciplines and their terminology, research aspect and social level of analysis. The results show that the terms creativity and innovation are used interchangeably by some disciplines, and diverse creativity research in terms of aspect and social level are produced within single disciplines. Besides indicating that disciplines overlap in their activity, these findings suggest new trends in research aspects and social levels.
