Abstract

Dean Simonton recounts in his chapter the genesis of the term “the social psychology of creativity,” focusing on the context within social psychology prior to both his and Amabile’s pioneering work. Simonton argues in his chapter that, although Amabile and others have credited Simonton with coining the term “the social psychology of creativity,” Amabile deserves the credit for establishing creativity as an accepted area of research in social psychology.
