This article presents an 8P theoretical framework for understanding creativity and theories of creativity. The 8Ps are purpose, press, person, problem, process, product, propulsion, and public. The article opens by distinguishing between a theory and a model, on the one hand, and a theoretical framework, on the other. It then considers briefly some of the theoretical frameworks for creativity that have been proposed in the past. Next, it describes the 8P theoretical framework and how it applies to understanding creativity and theories of creativity. The 8P framework suggests that most theories of creativity have been rather incomplete, dealing only with limited aspects of the phenomenon.

理解创造力和创造力理论的 8P 理论框架

本文介绍了理解创造力和创造力理论的 8P 理论框架。8P是目的、新闻、人、问题、过程、产品、推进力和公众。本文首先通过区分理论和模型以及另一方面的理论框架来开始。然后简要考虑过去提出的一些创造力的理论框架。接下来，它描述了 8P 理论框架以及它如何应用于理解创造力和创造力理论。8P 框架表明，大多数创造力理论都相当不完整，只涉及这一现象的有限方面。
