Summary

• In recent years, "affect & creativity" has been recognized as an area that is important & exciting to investigate. Affect, Creative Experience & Psychological Adjustment presents the very latest ideas & research by leaders in the field about the role of affect in the creative process. This book serves as an arena where readers can evaluate new theories & concepts, compare research findings, debate methodological issues, & outline future paths of study. Key questions in this area focus on identifying specific processes that are most important in creativity, discovering the underlying mechanisms that account for the relationships between affect & creativity, exploring differential effects of various types of affect on creativity, & understanding how these things relate to psychological adjustment. As with any new line of research investigation, there is a plethora of ideas, speculations, research findings, hunches, methodological issues, & tests of theoretical models.
• That evolves into a clear vision of heuristic theoretical models & identification of the most important research questions. This book is an excellent contribution to that process in the area of affect & creativity & an important text for researchers, professionals, & students in the field.
