Human Creativity: Functions, Mechanisms, and Social Conditioning

Creativity we value deeply, but do we understand what it is? Why do we want it--what is it for--and how does it work--what happens in our brains and minds when we produce something creative?

NEW — with Eric van Dijk we edit a Special Issue of @Journal_Economic-Psychology on #Social #Institutions and #Cooperation #Failures.

We seek theory-informed #experiments in #lab or #field-settings about when and how social institutions hurt rather than help cooperation and #public good provision, or fuel rather than mitigate intergroup #conflict.

Submissions adhere to standards of Journal of Economic Psychology - ISSN 0167-4870 (elsevier.com).

Submission Deadline is December 25, 2023
