Creativity: Research, Development, and Practice summarizes scholarly research on creativity from psychology, business, education, sociology, economics, and more.

Beginning with a discussion of theories of creativity, the book progresses to research on the nature/nurture debate as to what influences creativity, how creativity is related to personality, how social context may affect creativity, mental health and its relation to creativity, gender differences, and how creativity is related to and differs from invention, innovation, imagination, and adaptability. The third edition has been thoroughly updated and includes a new chapter on psychometrics, substantial updates on the biology of creativity, and teases apart deliberate cognition from associative/intuitive cognition. The book additionally includes quotes, figures, boxed controversial issues, and biographies of creative individuals.
