- Abstract
- As a time of intense psychosocial change, adolescence is a critical period for creativity development. Alternatively, creativity may be a central component of "self-transformation" in adolescence, as it promotes the thinking processes involved in identity formation, supports the development and maintenance of a positive and creative self-concept, and facilitates self-expression within the creative domains to which the adolescent is committed. This article presents a review of the literature on the development of creativity in adolescence and creativity's role in the development of self, leading to practical implications for promoting creative activities that are particularly important during this period of life.
