Timeline

James C. Kaufman is an American psychologist known for his research on creativity.

He is a Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut.

Previously, he taught at the California State University, San Bernardino, where he directed the Learning Research Institute.

He received his Ph.D. from Yale University in Cognitive Psychology, where he worked with Robert J. Sternberg.

Born in Great Neck, New York, he attended the University of Southern California as an undergraduate, where he worked with both John L. Horn and novelist T. Coraghessan Boyle.

He is a prolific researcher and editor who is best known for his theoretical contributions to the study of creativity.

His most prominent theoretical work, with Ron Beghetto, is the Four-C Model of Creativity.

This model explores the idea of expanding traditional conceptions of eminent creativity ("Big-C") and everyday creativity ("little-c") to include "mini-c"—creativity that is inherent in the learning process—and "Pro-c"—creativity at a professional level that has not yet had a historical impact.

Kaufman and Beghetto have further proposed the construct of creative metacognition, which refers to both knowing one's creative strengths and weaknesses as well as recognizing appropriate times and contexts to express one's creativity.

In addition, with Robert Sternberg and Jean Pretz, he developed the propulsion model of creative contributions, outlined in the book The Creativity Conundrum.

With John Baer, he developed the Amusement Park Theoretical (APT) Model of Creativity.

Kaufman's empirical work has focused on a few different key areas.
