In its attempt to grasp these different dimensions of the phenomenon of creativity, the psychology of creativity seems to have lost sight of its main object of interest: creative human <i>behavior</i>. This contribution constitutes a short plea to restore “<i>Creating</i>” (i.e., the creative behavior), to its central place in the psychology of creativity. Indeed, the study of the C's of creativity only makes sense in the articulation with the “<i>why</i>” and the “<i>how</i>” of creative behavior. This means focusing on behavioral measures, or at least explicitly considering a direct link between the variables under study and actual creative behaviors. Not all C's are equal, and “<i>Creating</i>” should be the main phenomenon of interest for the discipline. This proposition echoes the various calls to refocus on the study of behavior and behavioral measures in psychology. Research in the field of the psychology of creativity, and especially in the <i>Journal of Creative Behavior</i>, cannot ignore the need to focus on creative behavior.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41837085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recognized for their ability to convey and elicit emotions, various studies aim to validate the extent to which auditory expressive cues and embodied expressive movements are able to convey emotions. However, is expressing and evoking emotions a generalized intention of music and dance? Although much data exists based on audience responses (decoders), composers' and choreographers' (encoders) intentions beyond experimental instructions are still being determined. This paper reports two studies investigating the intention of composers and choreographers when creating new works. Results revealed that expressing emotions is not a primary goal yet a significant underlying intention. Furthermore, composers and choreographers aimed for their expressed emotions to be perceived rather than felt. Moreover, the genre conventions determined by stylistic and cultural factors influenced emotion expression, with some genres allowing more expressive cues than others, likely affecting the extent to which emotions are meaningfully conveyed. These findings point to potential cue variance between actual intentions and experiment-intended stimuli to express and thus communicate emotions. An argument for the importance of ecological validity in laboratory-based experiments is presented.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49460826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To explore this open problem, an experiment with a within-subject design (<i>n</i> = 202) was conducted.

{"title":"Artificial Intelligence, Creativity, and Intentionality: The Need for a Paradigm Shift","authors":"Francisco Tigre Moura","doi":"10.1002/jocb.585","DOIUrl":"10.1002/jocb.585","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Applying artificial intelligence (AI) to generate creative and valuable outputs is far from a novel concept (Boden, <span>1998</span>; Cope, <span>1989</span>). However, only in recent years have we witnessed large scale release and adoption of AI tools capable of generating high-quality content in written, image, video, and sound formats (Anantrasirichai &amp; Bull, <span>2022</span>). The fast adoption of these tools, and the autonomous nature of the process that generates such outputs, challenges well-rooted paradigms, especially in creative sectors such as the arts. As consequence, it calls for a discussion and reconsideration of existing concepts and assumptions.</p><p>Intentionality and creativity, for example, have long been deemed as unique to humans, and central to the understanding of our specie. While intentionality has often been described as “an expression of the presence of creative factors in the processes of intellectual cognition” (Gondek, <span>2021</span>, p.420), creativity is described as the skill of creating ideas or artifacts that are new, valuable, and surprising (Boden, <span>2004</span>). Both concepts are intrinsically interrelated and pivotal for understanding humans. For this reason, they have been largely researched through various psychological perspectives, including cognition, personality, emotions, and motivation.</p><p>However, creative AI systems are now capable of independently generating outputs which are indistinguishable from the ones developed solely by humans. They also allow for various co-creation possibilities (Miller, <span>2019</span>). Thus, AI should be perceived as a tool, a co-creative partner, and as an independent creator (Elgammal, <span>2019</span>). However, the data-centered and autonomous nature of smart systems conflicts with our understanding and expectation of human intentionality in creative tasks.</p><p>Therefore, we must reconsider current assumptions to account for the ever-increasing role of AI in creative processes. I defend that the current and future scenario calls for a new paradigm, one which considers intentionality in the synergetic co-creative relationships between humans and AI as equally genuine as the ones not using them. Thus, one where AI is seen as an enabler that allows humans to potentialize their expression of motives and intent. Finally, a paradigm that also recognizes the increasing intentionality of algorithms.</p><p>The manifestation of human intentionality in creative tasks has often been viewed as a conscious attempt to express genuine aspirations, emotions, and motives. Especially in the creative and artistic sectors, the subjective value of human expressions is highly influenced by the skill or expertise required to conduct the task necessary to express the desired intent (e.g., ability to play an instrument, writing or painting technique). Thus, the creative process to manifest an intent has always been deemed as of great relevance (Kozbelt, <span>2004","PeriodicalId":39915,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jocb.585","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44129505","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}
