Abstract

Creative behaviors are increasingly impacted by digital technologies, but little is known about the way digital technologies support everyday creativity and what factors predict their creative use. We investigated to what extent individual differences in person‐specific (creativity, personality) and platform‐specific (e.g., perceived creativity support) characteristics relate to the creative use of Instagram. The results from a sample of 191 Instagram users revealed that more frequent creative use of Instagram was related to greater engagement in everyday creative behaviors, creative self‐beliefs, the openness facet of creative imagination, extraversion, a more positive attitude toward Instagram, greater platform‐related self‐efficacy, and greater perceived creativity‐support. Regression analysis further revealed a unique contribution of everyday creativity, creative personal identity, extraversion, attitude toward Instagram, Instagram self‐efficacy, and perceived creativity‐support for creative use of Instagram. Although creativity was not the most central motive for using Instagram, the results from the present study indicated considerable levels of creative use, suggesting that common online spheres are important for everyday creative behavior. Together, this study identified relevant person‐ and platform‐specific factors predicting creative behavior at Instagram, while also highlighting the relevance of creativity in the digital world even outside of devoted digital creativity tools.

缫丝故事：Instagram上的创意行为和创意支持调查

创意行为越来越多地受到数字技术的影响，但人们对数字技术如何支持日常创意以及哪些因素可以预测创意使用却知之甚少。我们研究了个人特异性（创造力、个性）和平台特异性（如感知到的创造力支持）特征的个体差异在多大程度上与 Instagram 的创造性使用有关。对191名Instagram用户的抽样调查结果显示，Instagram的创造性使用频率与日常创造性行为的参与度、创造性自我信念、创造性想象力的开放性、外向性、对Instagram更积极的态度、更高的平台相关自我效能感以及更高的感知创造性支持有关。回归分析进一步揭示了日常创造力、创造性个人身份、外向性、对 Instagram 的态度、Instagram 自我效能感和感知到的创造力支持对创造性使用 Instagram 的独特贡献。虽然创造力并不是使用 Instagram 的最主要动机，但本研究的结果表明，创造力的使用水平相当高，这表明常见的网络领域对日常创造性行为非常重要。总之，本研究确定了预测 Instagram 创意行为的相关个人和平台特定因素，同时也强调了即使在专用数字创意工具之外，数字世界中创意的相关性。
