  • Creative Agency Unbound explores how individuals transform creative potential into creative actions. Creative agency refers to the self-directed capacity to envision and enact meaningful changes within contextual constraints. This Element introduces the updated Creative Behavior as Agentic Action (CBAA) model, explaining four key decision points that shape creative engagement: Can I do this creatively? (creative confidence), Should I do this creatively? (creative centrality), Will I do this creatively? (creative risk-taking), and How will I do this creatively? (creative self-regulation). Each decision and its related self-belief is discussed in successive sections, integrating theory, research, and practical applications to illustrate how creative self-beliefs motivate creative behaviors. This Element serves as a foundational resource for those seeking to understand, study, and foster the transformation of creative potential into creative action.

  • Summary

    The chapter summarizes the role of interpersonal relationships in all forms of creativity: creative self-beliefs, abilities, activities, and achievements. We analyze the problem from two perspectives: processual and developmental. In the beginning, we characterize social emotions’ role in self-regulation of the creative process. Further, we describe the influence of significant others across lifespan. We present the meaning of parents and siblings for creativity in the early stage of life. Next, we move to the importance of romantic relationships and parenthood for adulthood creativity. Finally, we focus on the role of predecessors and successors in professional creativity with particular attention to their meaning for creative self-beliefs. In summary, we discuss the role of interpersonal relationships and social emotions through the journey from creative potential to creative behavior.
