Creativity is a major driving force for human beings, urging people to try things a new way, see things differently, and imagine what might be. This book explores what is known about creativity and what people can do to promote it at all stages of people's lives—from preschoolers through senior citizens. The authors, all social scientists and many of them artists in their own right, cover a variety of perspectives, from programs aimed at creativity in children, to long-term research projects, to a new theory of women's creativity. This subject has reverberations not only for child welfare and the possible application of creative activities to help at risk children and families, but also for society as a whole.

The lives of adults committed to social concerns, or to cultural domains such as art and science, have been widely studied. These spheres of activity hold special interest because of their transformative potential for society and culture. This volume extends these lines of investigation downward, exploring the phenomenon of engagement in adolescence and early adulthood. The chapters in this volume draw on 2 studies using complementary methodologies, in-depth interviews, and self-reports of subjective experience in daily life. The chapters examine why young people are drawn to certain areas of work and, once there, what sustains them. A supportive family background, mentors or role models, involvement in cooperative activities, cultivation of intrinsic interest, awareness of moral and political issues, and traits such as moral sensitivity and optimism are among the central factors that the authors explore. The better these factors are understood, the more effectively we can support youth engagement, a goal that holds particular urgency today.
