Creativity has clear benefits for individuals and society as a whole. Not surprisingly, a great deal of research has focused on creativity, especially in the past 20 years. This chapter reviews the creativity research, first looking to the relevant traits, capacities, influences, and products, and then within disciplinary perspectives on creativity (e.g., biological, cognitive, developmental, organizational). Great headway is being made in creativity research, but more dialogue between perspectives is suggested. New and important areas of research are highlighted, and the various costs and benefits of creativity are discussed.
创造力对个人乃至整个社会都有着明显的益处。不足为奇的是，大量研究都聚焦于创造力，尤其是在过去20年里。本章回顾了创造力研究，首先探讨相关的特质、能力、影响因素及成果，然后从不同学科视角（如生物学、认知学、发展学、组织学）对创造力进行分析。创造力研究正在取得重大进展，但建议不同视角之间展开更多对话。文中突出了新的重要研究领域，并讨论了创造力的各种成本和益处。
