"The emphasis of this volume is on the theoretical issue of whether the attributes that lead to creativity in one domain are the same as those that lead to creativity in another domain. The study of creativity is burgeoning and multidisciplinary in that it involves approaches of social, personality, cognitive, clinical, biological, differential, developmental, and educational psychology. This book will be of interest to a wide range of psychologists, researchers, and students."--Jacket.
