Creative lives, creative tensions

Abstract There has been a shift in recent studies of creativity from a person‐centered approach to one emphasizing social processes. This occurrence is linked to broader shifts of investigative interest in the role of collaboration and thought communities as having a central role in scientific research. In this article these changes in theoretical and research orientations are analyzed from a Vygotskian point of view.
