Cultural diversity refers to the extent of cultural differences that exist between people. The first part of our chapter discusses the influence that diversity has on creative processes. Historiometric, cross-sectional and experimental work supports the idea that, under the right circumstances, individual experiences of diversity can increase creative potential. Studies on group and team creativity paint a more complex picture, suggesting that group diversity can sometimes help and sometimes hinder creative performance. We also discuss the issue of cross-cultural differences in creativity and suggest that further work is needed to better understand what aspects of creativity are shared, and what aspects of creativity are different across cultures.
