Summary

This chapter reviews contemporary literature on creative self-beliefs. Creative self-beliefs refer to a constellation of beliefs that shape one’s creative self and play a unique role in helping to determine a person’s engagement and performance on creative endeavors. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a conceptual overview of creative self-beliefs and discuss how creativity researchers might continue to clarify, develop, and contribute to this line of inquiry. The chapter closes with a brief summary and suggestions for future work on creative-self beliefs.
