长期以来，创造力一直被定义为新颖性和实用性。然而，令人惊讶的是，对于任一维度的确切含义、它们之间的关系或它们产生的过程，几乎没有一致意见。在本文中，我们探讨了创造力文献中如何明确和隐含地使用新颖性和有用性，以揭示理解定义结构的三种方式。我们提出，这三种理解产生了不同但相互关联的创造力形式：作为最大化的创造力、作为平衡的创造力和作为整合的创造力。每种形式都提供了不同的方式来回答这个问题：什么是创造力？我们进一步推论，形式是由新颖性和有用性、上下文和过程之间的远端关系塑造的。从根本上说，我们的理论表明，为遥远的另类现实开发创造性成果与开发基于当前的想法是不同的创造力形式，因此当创造者穿越时空时，他们也会经历不同形式的创造力。我们的元理论通过揭示有用性在定义创造力中的核心作用，进一步加深了我们对创造力的理解；打开创作过程的动力；并强调思想和背景之间的相互依赖关系。我们的元理论通过揭示有用性在定义创造力中的核心作用，进一步加深了我们对创造力的理解；打开创作过程的动力；并强调思想和背景之间的相互依赖关系。我们的元理论通过揭示有用性在定义创造力中的核心作用，进一步加深了我们对创造力的理解；打开创作过程的动力；并强调思想和背景之间的相互依赖关系。

Toward a meta-theory of creativity forms: How novelty and usefulness shape creativity

Creativity has long been defined in terms of novelty and usefulness. Surprisingly, however, there is relatively little agreement about the precise meaning of either dimension, the relationship between them, or the process through which they are produced. In this paper, we explore how novelty and usefulness have been used explicitly and implicitly in the creativity literature to reveal three ways to understand the definitional constructs. We propose that these three understandings give rise to distinct but interrelated forms of creativity: creativity as maximization, creativity as balance, and creativity as integration. Each form provides a different way of answering the question: what is creativity? We further theorize that the forms are shaped by the distal relations between novelty and usefulness, context, and process. Fundamentally, our theory suggests that developing a creative outcome for a distant alternative reality is a different form of creativity than developing an idea grounded in the present, so that as creators move through space and time, they also move through different forms of creativity. Our meta-theory furthers our understanding of creativity by revealing the centrality of usefulness in defining creativity; opening up the dynamics of the creative process; and highlighting interdependencies between ideas and context.
