BIOGRAPHIC RESEARCH ON CONTEXTS OF SHAPING CREATIVE ATTITUDE

Abstract

Te text synthetically presents the modern theories on creativity and formation of creative attitude. Te aspect of environmental factors of creativity which determine the creation of widely understood creative attitude, was slightly more developed. Te article contains conclusions from research done in qualitative orientation, with the use of modified biographic-narrative interview method. It is oriented on problematic fields relating to the formation of a creative attitude. Te problematics of research aimed at identifying how family and school environment, group activities, significant persons (mentors), media and other factors (especially the most significant ones in the opinions of interlocutors), influenced the formation of creative attitudes of the two artists. In this article two biographic contexts of shaping creative attitude together with exo and endogenic factors which determine the course of their life paths are presented. Qualitative research have been done on creative individuals of two different domains of art, which enables to draw the conclusion that the formation of a creative personality is a set of different factors which reinforce the development of its creative attitude in a lifetime. Te subject of creativity is very interesting, not only from cognitive, but also from existential point of view. A wish to present the essence of creation and contexts of shaping creative attitudes in order to achieve satisfaction and happiness, was one of my objectives during my biographic research. In some special way, a man who creates has to open himself to the surrounding world and to different and unknown dimensions of himself. Internal factors are neither directives or determinants, but through proper environmental contexts, they can be both reinforced or inhibited and decomposed.
