"Creative confidence, or creative self-efficacy, is a belief that we can successfully complete tasks in the creative process, from coming up with original and valuable ideas, to judging which are the best and most feasible ones, to taking action to develop them into performances or products. Research that jointly analyzed results from 41 studies with more than 17,000 participants shows that those who have greater creative confidence tend to do better on tests of creative thinking and be more creative in what they do,"
"Chances are that many of the items on our resolution lists require creativity-the capacity to imagine a different reality, not quite knowing how to make it happen but deciding to pursue it anyway. The fuel for creativity, regardless of what our specific goals are, is creative confidence. The good news is that psychological science shows that creative confidence can be built and provides four groups of strategies to develop it."
Creative confidence is the belief that one can successfully complete tasks across the creative process, from generating original and valuable ideas to selecting feasible options and taking action to develop them into performances or products. A joint analysis of 41 studies with more than 17,000 participants found that higher creative confidence associates with better scores on creative thinking tests and greater workplace and classroom creativity. Creative confidence varies between people but can be developed. The most powerful tool for building it is reflecting on one’s own actions and progress. Additional strategies include observing others, seeking encouragement, and noticing the feelings that accompany progress. A growth mindset about creativity provides the starting point for development.
