最大化创造力的尝试遍及企业、艺术和科学领域。这项研究调查了个人对创造力可塑性的普遍信念如何影响创造力潜力的几种衡量标准。两项相关研究和一项实验研究考察了创造力的可塑性信念、创造性解决问题的能力以及先前的创造性成就之间的关系。在研究 1 中，对创造力的增量信念与对创造性思维、自我报告的创造力和创造性解决问题的兴趣相关。在研究 2 中，增量信念与跨文化专业样本中先前的创造性成就相关。在研究 3 中，创造力的增量提高了创造性解决问题的能力。所有研究都为创造力的可塑性信念提供了区分有效性和领域特异性。具体来说，研究 1 和研究 2 控制了关于智力可塑性的信念的个体差异，表明创造力和智力的可塑性信念是有意义的不同。同时，研究 3 发现，渐进的创造力信念可以增强创造性地解决问题，但不能增强普遍的问题解决能力。
Attempts to maximize creativity pervade corporate, artistic, and scientific domains. This research investigated how individual's lay beliefs about the malleability of creativity affect several measures of creative potential. Two correlational and 1 experimental study examined the relationship between malleability beliefs about creativity and creative problem-solving and prior creative achievement. In Study 1, incremental beliefs in creativity were associated with interest in creative thinking, self-reported creativity, and creative problem-solving. In Study 2, incremental beliefs were associated with prior creative achievement in a cross-cultural, professional sample. In Study 3, incremental primes of creativity led to improved creative problem-solving. All studies provide discriminant validity and domain-specificity for malleability beliefs in creativity. Specifically, Studies 1 and 2 controlled for individual differences in beliefs about the malleability of intelligence, suggesting that malleability beliefs of creativity and intelligence are meaningfully distinct. Meanwhile, Study 3 found that incremental beliefs of creativity enhance creative problem-solving but not problem-solving more generally.
