ABSTRACT
The growth in creative studies over the past twenty-five years may be most obvious in the social and behavioural sciences. Indeed, the number of empirical studies on creativity has doubled several times over in this period (Feist & Runco, 1993). The vast majority of the studies on creativity in the social and behavioural sciences have been empirical. This chapter focuses on studies of creativity that have used quantitative methods and data. It does not, then, discuss qualitative research.
