    Please circulate among your networks - apologies in advance for cross postings. 

    Dear colleagues, 

    We are conducting a meta-analysis to assess the impact of constraints on creative performance. The present meta-analysis defines constraints as any limitation or restriction placed on a creative effort, including, but not limited to: resources, goals, times, technology, and competition or market. This call is not limited to specific fields, industries, or contexts. 

    We are looking for unpublished manuscripts, data, or dissertations that meet the following inclusion criteria: 
    • Studies must examine the influence of constraints on creative performance at any level of the organization (i.e., individual, group, organization)
    • Studies must be written in English
    • Studies must be empirical in nature and include indicators of effect size

    We would appreciate any studies meeting this criteria to be sent to adam.damadzic@mavs.uta.edu by February 16, 2018. Additionally, it would be greatly appreciated if this request could be forwarded to any colleagues you know who may be able to assist in this search. 

    Thanks,
