The goal of the proposed symposium is to provide new insights into the decisions that creators and evaluators make during the creative process: Decisions about which ideas are more and less creative, decisions about whether to withdraw (vs. engage) in creative work, and decisions about which creative process behaviors to enact. Taken together, these four papers- two empirical and two conceptual- broaden areas of research for the growing literatures on creativity evaluation and decision-making. Ultimately, this symposium promotes innovation for the future and society by examining the decisions creators and evaluators make to advance (or not) creative ideas.
