Typically, these studies utilize a UT paradigm where participants are divided into CT and UT groups: the CT group reflects on the task, while the UT group engages in a distraction. However, UT effect is inconsistent across studies. This study aims to explore the condition under which UT effect works and how to facilitate it. By manipulating performance-contingent reward, this study compared the creativity of UT and CT in reward and non-reward conditions under a modified UT paradigm (<i>N</i> = 179). Creativity was measured by a divergent thinking task (the unusual uses task). Results indicated the fluency and originality in the reward condition were higher than non-reward condition for the UT group. What's more, UT surpassed CT in fluency and originality only in the reward condition.

Initially, a diverse cohort of 322 university students in Taiwan completed the AICQ from November to December 2023.

One item was removed due to cross-loading. Subsequently, in September 2024, 330 university students in Taiwan engaged with both the AICQ and the 28-item Creative Behavior Inventory (CBI). Based on responses from this sample, construct validity evidence for the AICQ was examined using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), which affirmed that a three-factor model provided a good fit to the data.

In this study, 56 graduate students from a research university in the United States were paired into a dyad with another academically similar or diverse student. They then took the Alternate Uses Test (AUT) alone, as a team, and then alone again. The AUT was used to obtain three divergent thinking scores—fluency, flexibility, and originality. The scores were analyzed to determine if graduate students in academically diverse dyads worked better together (and, subsequently, alone) compared to academically similar dyads. The results showed that academically diverse dyads had significantly higher scores on originality for both increases in individual task scores and the team creativity task, as well as higher fluency scores compared to academically similar dyads. In addition, the results suggest that academically similar and diverse dyads demonstrate varying patterns of fluency and originality scores over time.

Specifically, this article presents a scoping review of 61 studies published between 2000 and 2022 in English focusing on the use of GBAs to enhance creativity across various contexts. The results indicate an increasing trend in publications over the past two decades, with research clusters predominantly located in the United States, Taiwan, and Spain. Target groups primarily studied include adults in higher education, followed by children in K-12 settings, with the majority of studies conducted within classroom environments. A diverse array of GBAs have been employed in these studies, including video games, game-based learning, gamification, serious games, escape rooms, board games, and more, across both digital and non-digital media. These approaches were either developed by the researchers themselves or utilized pre-existing ones. Furthermore, GBAs have been found to foster various aspects of creativity, including creative thinking and problem-solving, flow and mastery experience, various aspects of the creative self, among others, pertaining to cognitive, motivational, affective, and sociocultural foundations. As such, this scoping review acts as a stimulus for ongoing research and refinement of game-based approaches aimed at enhancing creativity within both research and practical domains.</p>","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jocb.1536","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143481296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not only do <i>creators</i> differ in their approaches to creative work, but <i>creative endeavors</i> differ in complexity, scale, and level of difficulty, meaning that the self-regulation strategies people use to manage themselves and their ideas from creative ideation to implementation may differ. More specifically, the work that people devote to creative self-regulation is determined by the demands inherent to certain forms of creative activity and people's capacities to control their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to meet those demands. Yet, current theoretical frameworks of creative self-regulation have not explicitly delineated the role of self-regulatory determinants and contingencies that make it easier or more challenging for people to actualize their ideas. To that end, we present the Actualization Contingencies and Tendencies for Operable New Ideas (ACT-ON Ideas) framework, which outlines the factors that influence the self-regulatory demands imposed by creative work, as well as people's propensities to enact certain self-regulation strategies during idea implementation. We argue that people's self-regulatory activities are influenced by (a) external contingencies such as idea qualities, task demands, and the environment, as well as (b) people's internal tendencies such as their dispositions, metacognitive abilities, self-beliefs, and behavioral inertia from previous efforts in the creative process.</p>","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jocb.1537","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143481297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to understand the dark side of creative performance pressure (CPP) in the workplace through the lens of moral disengagement theory (MDT). We specifically argue that CPP results in organizational deviance (discretionary behavior that violates organizational norms and threatens the well-being of an organization, its members, or both). Further, we have identified employee moral disengagement (the ability to separate oneself morally from a wrong behavior by cognitively altering the perception of the situation and, therefore, not feeling negative about it) as an underlying mechanism of CPP—organizational deviance relationship and supervisor bottom-line mentality as the boundary condition of this mediated relationship. The data for the study were collected using a self-administered questionnaire through a time-lagged design from full-time employees working in the IT industry in Pakistan. A total of 254 completed responses were used to test the model through confirmatory factor analysis (in AMOS 23) and SPSS Process Macro. The results of the analysis supported the theoretical arguments of MDT and the existing evidence. The results highlighted that CPP leads employees toward organizational deviance through the underlying psychological mechanism of moral disengagement, and this impact is further enhanced in the presence of supervisors who are high in bottom-line mentality.
