Magic is an art form that creates illusory experiences of impossibility by generating a conflict between what we witness and what we believe about the world. The uniqueness of this art has intrigued researchers for over a century. The present study explores the social representations of magic among magicians and non-magicians to understand how thes...

Over the past 7 decades, researchers have examined the personalities of creative individuals across various fields, including architecture, art, and science, for instance. These studies have highlighted distinct conative and cognitive traits associated with each of these different domains. But what about the creators in relatively unexplored domain...

La formation des futurs enseignants implique la transmission de savoirs disciplinaires et le développement de compétences pédagogiques et didactiques, posant la question de l'importance du corps dans la pratique professionnelle, notamment dans des disciplines nécessitant des gestes spécifiques et une implication corporelle comme le sport et les art...

Art and design involve divergent creative processes. Design is a more constrained domain than art. While creativity in some specific domains, such as painting, sculpture, and music, has been widely studied, some have as yet been little explored. One example is stone carving. What characterizes stone carving, as a creative occupation? What is a ston...

With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), the field of creativity faces new opportunities and challenges. This manifesto explores several scenarios of human–machine collaboration on creative tasks and proposes “fundamental laws of generative AI” to reinforce the responsible and ethical use of AI in the creativity field. Four scenarios are pr...

Creativity has been studied for a long time and it has become a more significant topic of research in educational fields in recent decades. The present paper outlines a multivariate approach to creativity and substantiates this approach by investigating the creative process and multivariate factors through a creative course for master’s students at...

The Cambridge Handbook of Creativity and Emotions provides a state-of-the-art review of research on the role of emotions in creativity. This volume presents the insights and perspectives of sixty creativity scholars from thirteen countries who span multiple disciplines, including developmental, social, and personality psychology; industrial and org...

For many years, researchers have been investigating how the creative process occurs and what factors influence it. The scope of these studies is essential in the school context to enable pupils to develop their creativity and thus address the needs of the 21st century society. Although very rich, these studies are generally not situated in a real t...

This chapter focuses on connection between creativity and learning by analyzing the steps involved in activity of producing technical object, as well as creative process of elementary school pupils. It begins from the physical production of objects and gain access to the discursive dimension by means of a diary that allows access to the learner's c...

This book focuses on creativity and showcases a specific approach to creativity. It uses a new 7 C’s basis for understanding creativity (creators, creating, cooperation, context, creations, consumption, and curricula). This new approach to creativity is an extension of the 4 ‘P’ approach (person, process, press, and product) which has dominated the...

Creativity may be involved in several domains such as art, literature, science, music or everyday life. The skills that are necessary in one creative domain may not be the same as those that are necessary in another. In this chapter, we will compare five domains of creativity: art, design, scriptwriting, music, and engineering. For each domain, we...

To facilitate our interactions with the surroundings, the human brain sometimes reshapes the situations that it faces in order to simplify them. This phenomenon has been widely studied in the context of reasoning, especially through the attribute substitution error. It has however been given much less attention in the field of perception. Recent re...

Although diverse European policy initiatives have been developed to integrate young NEETs – “Not in Employment, Education or Training”, it is particularly relevant to question how NEETs are perceived by their counterparts who are actively engaged in society. For this reason, we aimed to examine the Social Representations (SRs) of NEETs in France, u...

Avec la crise économique mondiale de 2007-2008, plusieurs institutions internationales ont mis en avant une explosion du nombre de personnes sans emploi où les jeunes sont particulièrement impactés. Selon l’agence Eurostat (2018), le taux de chômage des 15-24 ans a dépassé en moyenne les 20% en 2015 au sein des pays de l’Union Européenne. Dans ce c...

Since Wallas’ (The art of thought. Harcourt, Brace and Company, New York, 1926) four-stage model, the sequential perspective on the creative process may be questioned. The creative process as a dynamic phenomenon is examined in this chapter. In order to understand how the creative process is dynamic, we start by examining the nature of dynamic proc...

Within the literature on creativity in the arts, some authors have focused on the description of the artistic process (Patrick, 1937; Getzels and Csikszentmihalyi, 1976; Mace and Ward, 2002; Yokochi and Okada, 2005) whereas others have focused on the creative process (Wallas, 1926; Osborn, 1953/1963; Runco and Dow, 1999; Howard et al., 2008). These...

The visual arts have traditionally been treated as a major domain of creative activity and were the subject of some of the first empirical studies of creativity, such as Patrick’s seminal research (Patrick in Archives of Psychology 178:1–74, 1935; Journal of Psychology 4:35–73, 1937). In this chapter, the artistic creative process will be examined...

Creativity is often described as an essential aspect of the innovative design process. As such, many authors have proposed models aiming to describe existing creative practices, both at the macro level—i.e. the stages involved in a creative process—and at the micro level—i.e. the underlying cognitive processes. Conversely, many other models are of...

Although the first research on the creative process was based on interviews with the aim of identifying the main stages (macro‐process), in the last 50 years researchers have focused more on the analysis of micro‐processes, i.e., the mechanisms underlying the generation of ideas. This interest in the micro‐processes is partly a result of the tools...

L’étude vient s’intégrer dans un contexte de recherches qui s’intéressent majoritairement à la performance créative et aux facteurs qui peuvent optimiser celle-ci. Par contre, les effets du processus créatif sur l’humeur sont marginalement étudiés. La présente étude a comme objectifs de combler cette lacune. Cette étude interroge les effets de l’en...

Some studies have shown that burnout may have a negative impact on clinical empathy during internship. However, clinical empathy may also be a protective factor, preventing residents from experiencing burnout. Although several quantitative studies have been conducted to examine these relationships between burnout and empathy, no qualitative studies...

Although creativity has drawn the attention of researchers during the past century, collaborative processes have barely been investigated. In this article, the collective dimension of a creative process is investigated, based on a dynamic and ecological approach that includes an affective component. Dynamic means that the creative process is no lon...

Since Wallas (1926), the description of the stages of the creative process concerned creativity in general, including art, science, design or music. But what about differences in the creative process between different fields of endeavor? The objectives of this chapter are to describe creative processes respecting an ecological approach by observing...

Creativity may be distinguished from intelligence as it refers to the production of a novel, original, and adapted idea (Sternberg & Lubart, 1995). As Kaufmann (2004) emphasized, intelligence refers to the application of a familiar solution (e.g., routine problem solving, usage of previous experiences and/or knowledge) to either a familiar or novel...

Research on creative artists has examined mainly their personality traits or cognitive abilities. However, it seems important to explore also their emotional traits to complete the profile. This study examines two emotional characteristics: alexithymia and affect intensity. Even if most research suggests that artists are less alexithymic and experi...

The present article aims to address a current gap in our understanding of creativity in screenplay writing by focusing on the cognitive, conative, affective, and environmental factors that come into play at different stages in the creative process. It reports a study employing in-depth interviews with 22 recognized French screenplay writers. The fi...

Overexcitability corresponds to an overall response to stimulations in 5 domains: psychomotor, sensual, intellectual, imaginational, and emotional. The aim of this study was to develop a French version of the Overexcitability Questionnaire 2 (OEQ2) and to expand its psychometric properties. Two studies were conducted: one with a sample of 474 adole...

Single-item measures of job satisfaction have several advantages. However, there still exist debates on their use. In this article, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this type of measurement, and present an empirical study to compare the results of the assessment of job satisfaction with measures which, in theory, should be linked with...

Bien qu’initialement motivée par des considérations économiques, politiques et sociales (Corten, 1998 ; Mercier et Filion, 1987), la Qualité de Vie (QdV) est devenue un concept important dans la description de la santé d’un individu, aussi bien physique que mentale. Ainsi l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé en initiant en 1991 le projet WHOQOL (Wor...

This study sought to identify the factors that artists consider important for their creativity and to reconstruct, from interviews, the stages of their creative activity. For this purpose, 27 interviews with professional artists were analyzed using a double approach. First, a quantitative analysis of interviews and associated self-report questionna...

The present paper outlines an action theory of creativity and substantiates this approach by investigating creative expression in five different domains. We propose an action framework for the analysis of creative acts built on the assumption that creativity is a relational, inter-subjective phenomenon. This framework, drawing extensively from the...

Since the year 2000, the number of publications on the links between emotion and cognition has grown and grown, confirming an intuition several centuries old that emotion is an important variable in the learning process. At the same time, in the field of language didactics the action-oriented approach is recommended by the Common European Framework...

Previous studies have examined the personality traits of artists. Research indicates significant differences between artists, scientists, and individuals from the general population (Feist, 1998; Chamorro-Premuzic, Furnham, & Reimers, 2007). However, studies examining emotion-related traits of artists are relatively rare. Affective styles and trait...

The creative process in artistic work is examined. The creative process has often been considered in terms of a sequence of stages that leads to a creative product. A dynamic approach to the artistic creative process, including an affective component is proposed. Two studies with art students were conducted. Results support our hypothesis that the...

Factorial validation of the French scale for perceived stress in the workplace This article aims to validate the factorial structure of the perceived stress scale (PSS10) within the French working population. The analyses conducted confirmed the presence of two distinct factors, interpreted in terms of perceived work overload and perceived personal...

This article aims to validate the factorial structure of the perceived stress scale (PSS10) within the French working population. The analyses conducted confirmed the presence of two distinct factors, interpreted in terms of perceived work overload and perceived personal efficacy. Both factors presented good internal consistency and adequate validi...

Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) after complete surgical resection is currently accepted as a therapeutic option for peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, considerable morbidity is reported after HIPEC. We aimed to evaluate the impact of HIPEC on the quality of life (QoL) of survivors without recurrences of disease according to socio...
