Editing Creativity (section)

=== Team composition ===
The diversity of team members' backgrounds and knowledge can increase team creativity by expanding the collection of unique information that is available to the team and by introducing different perspectives that can be integrated in novel ways. However, under some conditions, diversity can also decrease team creativity by making it more difficult for team members to communicate about ideas and causing interpersonal conflicts between those with different perspectives.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Harvey | first1 = S | year = 2013 | title = A different perspective: The multiple effects of deep level diversity on group creativity | journal = Journal of Experimental Social Psychology | volume = 49 | issue = 5| pages = 822–832 | doi=10.1016/j.jesp.2013.04.004}}</ref> Thus, the potential advantages of diversity must be supported by appropriate team processes and organizational cultures in order to enhance creativity.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4">{{cite journal | last1 = Paletz | first1 = S.B. | last2 = Schunn | first2 = C.D. | year = 2010 | title = A social-cognitive framework of multidisciplinary team innovation | journal = Topics in Cognitive Science | volume = 2 | issue = 1| pages = 73–95 | doi=10.1111/j.1756-8765.2009.01029.x| pmid = 25163622 | citeseerx = 10.1.1.611.2475 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Polzer | first1 = J.T. | last2 = Milton | first2 = L.P. | last3 = Swarm | first3 = W.B.
