ABSTRACT

Since the 1950s, the study of creativity has attracted the attention of the international community and scholars, but there are no consistent methods to study creativity. This paper gives an overview of creativity from the perspective of research methods, and summarizes that the research methods of creativity are mainly case study, psychological measurement, experiment, biostatistics, cross-cultural comparative study, and computer simulation technology. In the end, it briefly reviews the research methods of creativity, and draws a conclusion that the future research methods of creativity should be more ecological and territorial, so as to meet people’s needs and perfect the theory of creativity.
