Abstract
Believing that creativity is stable (fixed) versus possible to change (malleable) can have severe consequences for people’s creative self-beliefs and motivation, all the way to their creative activity and, subsequently, creative achievement. These creative mindsets may be perceived as a subset of implicit theories of creativity that specifically relates to perceived sources of creative potential. Intriguingly, recent research demonstrated that in the case of creativity, people hold both mindsets, which—albeit negatively correlated—do not necessarily form two ends of one continuum. In this chapter, we focus on the most striking theoretical questions related to the current state of the research on creative mindsets and discuss future directions of these studies.
