Prevailing approaches to individual and group creativity have focused on personal factors that contribute to creative behavior (e.g., personality, intelligence, motivation), and the processes of behaving creatively and appreciating creativity are understood to be largely unrelated. This article uses social identity and self-categorization theories as the basis for a model of creativity that addresses these lacunae by emphasizing the role that groups play in stimulating and shaping creative acts and in determining the reception they are given. We argue that shared social identity (or lack of it) motivates individuals to rise to particular creative challenges and provides a basis for certain forms of creativity to be recognized (or disregarded). Empirical work informed by this approach supports eight novel hypotheses relating to individual, group, and systemic dimensions of the creativity process. These also provide an agenda for future creativity research.
现有的个体和群体创造力方法侧重于对创造性行为有贡献的个人因素（例如，个性、智力、动机），而创造性行为和欣赏创造力的过程被认为是基本不相关的。本文使用社会认同和自我分类理论作为基础，提出了一个创造力模型，通过强调群体在激发和塑造创造性行为以及确定它们所得到的评价方面的作用，来解决这些空白。我们认为，共同的社会认同（或缺乏社会认同）促使个人应对特定的创造性挑战，并为某些形式的创造力的识别（或忽视）提供基础。受这种方法启发的实证工作支持了与创造力过程的个体、群体和系统维度相关的八个新假设。这些也为未来的创造力研究提供了一个议程。
