Creativity in Communication Studies and Psychology

In their podcast episode, Allie and Noosh discuss fascinating aspects of creativity within their respective majors and minors. Noosh, a Communication Studies major, emphasizes the importance of understanding the “who, what, why, and how” in this field. By asking these fundamental questions, one can navigate communication challenges more smoothly. Noosh also advocates for active listening and learning from others as essential tools for success in Communication Studies. Improved communication skills enhance everyday interactions, allowing individuals to express their creativity more effectively.

Meanwhile, Allie explores creativity from a psychological perspective. Psychology, she explains, is not limited to studying individual behavior—it’s an interdisciplinary field that intersects with communication. Areas like human resources, youth justice, and criminology benefit from creative approaches rooted in psychology. Allie encourages listeners not to shy away from asking questions during their interactions. Curiosity, she asserts, strengthens interpersonal connections and opens up new avenues for creativity in research and practice.
