Everyday Creativity and Well-Being - Paul Silvia

Although the famous ideas and creators get most of the attention, nearly all human creativity is mundane: the countless hobbies, projects, and passions that allow people to spend time doing something creative in everyday life, be it knitting scarves, writing poems, making jewelry, or decorating cupcakes. This talk explores this ordinary "everyday creativity" using daily-life methods (experience sampling and daily diaries) that measure people's creative ideas and actions where and when they happen. Our research on creativity in everyday life shows that creative activity in daily life is broad and pervasive, that working on creative activities is a source of positive emotions, and that creativity furthers well-being, in part, because it is a way for people to build satisfying skills, strengthen social connectedness, and express themselves.
