Can creativity make you feel connected to other people? Terror management theory, which addresses the existential dread associated with death, suggests that the answer is no. But I push back against this view and highlight an array of studies and theories that point to many ways in which creativity can bring us together. First I discuss the museum effect, which indicates that experiencing the arts makes us feel connected to other people and the world. Next I discuss creativity’s association with friendships, positive working relationships, and even romance. Finally I explore a cluster of traits associated with creativity, including openness, perspective taking, and cognitive flexibility, which are also related to reduced prejudice and stereotyping. Nurturing creativity may be a way to increase equity.
