Chapter 12 - Are Implicit Theories of Creativity Domain Specific? Evidence and Implications
The Creative Self, pp 219-234
2017
Abstract
Implicit theories of creativity have become a focus of research for a number of important reasons. In this chapter we outline evidence that implicit theories are the product of social learning, and, as such are not likely to be totally domain general. We first discuss a small taxonomy of implicit theories including self-theories, and mindsets. Then we present evidence that implicit theories are not constant across domain boundaries. Finally, we discuss implications of this theoretical view for creativity research and educational research and practice.
