Valid and reliable single-item measures to efficiently assess one's creativity level could allow researchers and educators with limited time and resources to use the simpler and shorter self-report item. This study's primary objective was to evaluate the construct validity of a single-item creative self-belief (CSB) measure by comparing it with AUT fluency, flexibility, elaboration, and originality scores that were scored using manual and automated methods. It also aimed to assess the single-item CSB's convergent validity and test-retest reliability. In addition, the relationship between the manual and automated AUT scoring methods was evaluated. Data from 1,179 adult participants collected in a more extensive parent study were used for these analyses. CSB was weakly correlated to manual fluency (<em>rho</em> = 0.13, <em>p</em> = 0.004, <em>n</em>-505) and manual originality (<em>rho</em> = 0.11, <em>p</em> = 0.01) but no other AUT measures. CSB was correlated with the personality indices of openness to experience (<em>rho</em> = 0.49, <em>p &lt;</em> <em>0</em>.001), extraversion (<em>rho</em> = 0.20, <em>p &lt;</em> <em>0</em>.001), neuroticism (<em>rho</em> = -0.20, <em>p &lt;</em> <em>0</em>.001), agreeableness (<em>rho</em> = 0.14, <em>p &lt;</em> <em>0</em>.001), and conscientiousness (<em>rho</em> = 0.14, <em>p &lt;</em> <em>0</em>.001). CSB test-retest reliability, assessed using entries from participants who completed two sessions, was high (Intraclass Correlation 78.6). The manual elaboration score was strongly correlated with the automated Open Creativity Scoring with Artificial Intelligence (OCSAI) elaboration score (<em>rho</em> = 0.76, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001), and manual originality scores were correlated with OCSAI originality scores but less strongly (<em>rho</em> = 0.21, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001). These findings support using multiple measures to assess aspects of the creative process, not relying solely on this single-item CSB measure. However, the single-item CSB item may be helpful in limited-time situations and has demonstrated positive content validity, test-retest reliability, and a significant, albeit weak, correlation to AUT fluency and originality. This study also supports the continued use of OCSAI to score elaboration and originality in AUT.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"34 3","pages":"Article 100088"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2713374524000141/pdfft?md5=6d5388c6d34eb946436b9192b5043aed&pid=1-s2.0-S2713374524000141-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141594161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We predicated the model on qualitative interviews with everyday creators in England and the U.S. who discussed how they came to feel creative, speaking after they worked at their pursuits. Our analyses uncovered themes incorporating creative agency and impulse, contextual creative affordances, and sense of creative accomplishment as they feed into creative identity and self-efficacy. The resulting recursive model illustrates how acts of making come together to underscore everyday creative identity.

Impro trainers posit that compelling stories in improv are the result of social creativity (as opposed to individual creativity), a process of social interaction in which every actor contributes small impulses to commonly create the story without individual intent. Hence, improv techniques which aim to foster this social creative process have gained increasing popularity and spread into fields beyond the performing arts (e.g., business trainings), claiming to improve, among other things, participants’ social interaction skills. However, these claims have barely been investigated empirically. Here, we compare improv-players with matched controls in a controlled adaptation of an improv paradigm to study how they handle expectation violations in a social interaction situation. This paradigm allows to insert experimentally intended expectation violations into a predetermined dialogue measure their response times to these violations. In Experiment 1, we investigated the suitability of the paradigm and in the pre-registered Experiment 2, we compared the performance of improv-players and controls. The results showed that controls seem to have more difficulties in dealing with unexpected than expected utterances than improv-players. Furthermore, we find that improv-players receive higher scores on creativity and tolerance of uncertainty. We conclude that our results present first humble evidence that the successful handling of expectation violations in social interaction situations is indeed pronounced in improv players and might hence contribute to the social creativity observed on the improv stage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"34 2","pages":"Article 100082"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2713374524000086/pdfft?md5=a81565e3a824cb7f5b21d07ccea11256&pid=1-s2.0-S2713374524000086-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139827425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper contributes to the ongoing debate by providing a concise overview of contradictory literature findings, followed by presenting new data. In a sample of <em>N</em> = 509, self-rated creative self-efficacy (CSE) was inversely related to SmUD tendencies and, in subgroups of different sizes, to messenger overuse as well as to the frequency of Facebook and Instagram use. Notably, there was no such negative relationship between technology (over)use variables and the quantity of ideas (fluency) generated in divergent thinking (DT) tasks. However, the subjective and objective estimates of creative potential were positively associated. A heterogeneity analysis, in which the sample was split by sex, age, population group, and device used to participate in the online survey, uncovered varying correlations between technology (over)use and objectively measured creativity within some subsample pairs. Notable findings included a positive correlation between idea richness and time spent online with a stationary device (laptop/PC), among women, students, and those who participated in the online survey with non-mobile devices. Conversely, lower fluency scores were associated with more frequent Instagram use among men, and higher WhatsApp use among older generations. Overall, this study reveals a multifaceted relationship between creativity and media use that challenges prevailing media and public perceptions, with the mostly small effect sizes suggesting negligible connections.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"34 2","pages":"Article 100081"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2713374524000074/pdfft?md5=bdc64c7fc09e8d63650c4bf7423f2568&pid=1-s2.0-S2713374524000074-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139892503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
