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":"2024-08-01","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}

While even employees, who are not required to be creative, can develop valuable ideas, there is limited knowledge about ideas that go beyond existing job role expectations. To address this issue, we investigated extra-role creativity, a theoretically assumed creativity dimension aiming to understand its link to innovation taking social facilitating factors into account. We applied a mixed-method approach with two studies: (a) a qualitative interview study with nine employees from a German transport and logistics organization to get in-depth insights and develop a model of extra-role creativity and its connection to innovation, and (b) a questionnaire study with 141 employees from that organization in which we tested quantitatively parts of our previously developed model. Results supported the theoretical assumptions about extra-role creativity. They further highlighted the particular function of employees and leaders as social influences: First, the team's support for innovation facilitated extra-role creativity to be voiced and, second, a leader's support was essential for voiced ideas to get implemented. Limitations and implications are discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"34 1","pages":"Article 100073"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2713374523000328/pdfft?md5=7f05f6dd2c86581163668b60e94b1e41&pid=1-s2.0-S2713374523000328-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138557319","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}

For the creativity community, AC as a sociotechnical network has become a deeply consternating and contested monster. Given the recency of AC, there has been little theorizing yet. My critical self-reflection paper seeks to understand the community's concerns and, thereby, to discern theoretical insights that conceptually contribute towards a theory of AC. Drawing on autoethnography, I identified three distinct perceived matters of concern represented by anthropomorphic personalities or faces of AC: Trickster, Surveyor, and Harbinger. The findings reveal that the Trickster is the most monstrous and disconcerting face of AC. It may be prankish or deceptive, but can also be beneficent and supportive. While the Surveyor provides surveillance, measurement, and calculation, the Harbinger announces competing future visions, one of utopian hope and the other of dystopian despair. I conclude by discussing the implications of three underlying theoretical variables: trust, creative value, and creative personal identity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"34 1","pages":"Article 100075"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2713374524000013/pdfft?md5=084a726959aa3dc2133ce04824c8372d&pid=1-s2.0-S2713374524000013-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139434462","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}

Although one system (OROC) did simulate some aspects of human strategies for the AUT, most recent attempts have not been simulation-oriented, but rather have used Large Language Model (LLM) systems such as GPT-3 which embody extremely large connectionist networks trained on huge volumes of textual data. Studies reviewed here indicate that LLM based systems are performing on the AUT at near or somewhat above human levels in terms of scores on originality and usefulness. Moreover, similar patterns are found in the data of humans and LLM models in the AUT, such as output order effects and a negative association between originality and value or utility. However, it is concluded that GPT-3 and similar systems, despite generating novel and useful responses, do not display creativity as they lack agency and are purely algorithmic. LLM studies so far in this area have largely been exploratory and future studies should guard against possible training data contamination.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"34 1","pages":"Article 100071"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2713374523000304/pdfft?md5=78fd4c3adc7b002913ad16e3d916aad4&pid=1-s2.0-S2713374523000304-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138557320","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}

However, the experience of being aesthetically moved can involve various processes, and it remains unclear which appreciation processes specifically lead to being moved and inspired. This experiment investigated whether three appreciation processes—perceived beauty, feelings of awe, and meaning making—facilitate feelings of inspiration through feelings of being moved. Participants (33 undergraduate and graduate students; 14 females and 19 meles; <em>mean age</em> = 21.48, <em>SD</em> = 2.28) were instructed to appreciate paintings by either inferring their meaning or evaluating their beauty, and were then required to view a painting and draft a short creative story about it. They were also asked to report the extent to which they felt inspired during the writing phase and felt moved, perceived beauty, awe, and meaning-making during the appreciation phase. Mediation analyses indicated that meaning-making promoted feelings of inspiration through increased feelings of being moved in both the meaning inference and impression evaluation conditions, and that feelings of awe promoted feelings of inspiration in the meaning inference condition, but not in the impression evaluation condition. Furthermore, correlation and partial correlation analyses indicated that perceived beauty was not significantly correlated with feelings of inspiration. Our results provide a deeper understanding of the psychological mechanisms of inspiration through art appreciation from the perspectives of feelings of being moved, awe, and meaning-making.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"34 1","pages":"Article 100076"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2713374524000025/pdfft?md5=a311c21887f5896507f9de456f432273&pid=1-s2.0-S2713374524000025-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139538252","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}
