Abstract	Curiosity, the desire to know, may be associated with creativity, which involves generating ideas that are novel and valuable. This meta-analytic investigation consolidated the results of studies of the association between curiosity and creativity. Across 10 studies, which included 2,692 individuals, there was a significant association between more curiosity and greater creativity (weighted effect size r = 0.41, 95% CI [0.27, 0.54], p = 0.0001). For studies examining the association of the exploration dimension of curiosity with creativity, the weighted effect size was r = 0.48, 95% CI [0.09, 0.74], while for studies examining the deprivation sensitivity dimension of curiosity with creativity the weighted effect size was r = 0.20, 95% CI [0.10, 0.29]. The association of self-report measures of curiosity with self-reports of creativity was r = 0.52, 95% CI [0.40, 0.62], while the association of self-report measures of curiosity with rated creativity was r = 0.16, 95% CI [0.10, 0.22]. These meta-analytic results are congruent with some theoretical assumptions regarding curiosity and creativity and can be a foundation for efforts to facilitate creativity. (As Provided).
