- Abstract
- This chapter discusses the socioemotional characteristics of creatively and artistically gifted children. Creativity may be distinguished from intelligence as it refers to the production of a novel, original, and adapted idea. Intelligence refers to the application of a familiar solution to either a familiar or novel task/situation. In contrast, creativity refers to the use of a novel solution, requiring individuals to go beyond logic, using imagination and specific creative processes, independent of the novelty of the situation/task. Thus, it is expected that creative cognition is distinct from an academic or a normative one. With this perspective, we consider that emotional characteristics may have a specific and significant impact on creative and artistically gifted children. To demonstrate this point, we present a review of the literature on the impact of emotional states, emotion-related personality traits, and the self on creativity and art.
