The Social Process Assessment for Recognizing Creativity (SPARC) is a theory-based coding scheme that captures cognitive and interactional processes supporting creativity during team problem-solving. It synthesizes theories of creative problem-solving in teams (e.g., Amabile, The Social Psychology of Creativity, 3–15, 1983; Mumford et al., Roeper Review, 16(4), 241–246, 1994; Reiter-Palmon & Robinson, Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts, 3(1), 43–47, 2009) with Cronin and Loewenstein’s (The craft of creativity. Stanford University Press, 2020) “Stoplight Model of Creativity.” SPARC codes individual utterances by combining team-level processes (problem construction, idea generation, idea elaboration, idea evaluation, and idea selection) with whether the utterance aligns with, adds to, or changes the team’s shared mental model. Idea selection is treated as a binary code (yes vs. no), yielding 14 mutually exclusive codes, including a “null” category. Researchers can use SPARC to identify individual and sequential utterances during team discussions that are relevant to creative contributions and team performance outcomes.
