[Commlist] New Open Access Book: Larry Gross’s Creativity: Process and Personality

mediastudies.press is a scholar-led, nonprofit, no-fee open access 
publisher in the media, film, and communication studies fields. We are 
excited to announce the publication of Larry Gross’s undergraduate 
thesis: Communication Conduct in an Island Community.

Before arriving in the field of communication, Larry Gross was a 
psychology student at Brandeis University; /Creativity: Process and 
Personality/ was Gross’s undergraduate thesis at Brandeis, completed in 
1964. This mediastudies.press edition is the initial publication of that 
undergraduate thesis, with a new preface by Gross himself. /Creativity: 
Process and Personality/ finds Gross exploring the nature of creativity 
by interviewing some of the era’s most noteworthy experts in psychology, 
including Herbert Simon, Milton Rokeach, Abraham Maslow, David 
McClelland, Jerome Bruner, and B. F. Skinner. The result of Gross’s 
interviews is a nuanced and multi-perspectival set of interlocking 
chapters, each of which probes the psychological, social, and cultural 
aspects of creativity. Creativity: Process and Personality remains a 
provocative consideration of how creativity takes form, while also 
operating as a revealing snapshot of mid-twentieth century psychological 
thought.
