The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is influencing our lives in an enormous and unprecedented way. Here, we explore COVID-19-lockdown's consequences for creative activity. To this end, relied on two extensive diary studies. first, held March (pre-pandemic), involved 78 students who reported their emotions creativity over 2 weeks (927 observations). second, conducted 2020 (during the lockdown), 235 emotions, creativity, intensity of thinking talking about COVID-19 a month (5,904...
Self-report scales have become the most widely used instruments to capture people's self-perception of creativity. Previous studies, however, provided only a limited insight into psychometric properties such measures. This paper reports an extensive item response theory (IRT) analysis Short Scale Creative Self (SSCS): one frequently creative self-concept. Based on samples from 14 studies (overall N > 26,000), we report IRT parameters self-efficacy and personal identity scales' items. We...
ABSTRACT The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping society, highlighting the need to better understand its implications for human creativity. This investigation explores relationship and differences between people's general creative self‐beliefs their in an AI‐specific context (i.e., while using AI tools). It further investigates role played by AI‐augmented activity achievement. In a study on Prolific panel members ( N = 273), we found that were notably higher than beliefs d...
Which factors drive creative activity and achievement? Here, we explore this question with a special focus on both core, to large extent biologically rooted (e.g., personality, intelligence), surface, more malleable socio-culturally conditioned self-concept), predictors of real-life creativity. Using series multivariate structural equation models (N = 803), examined how self-concept, lower-level personality aspects, cognitive ability (divergent thinking intelligence) relate activities...
This study explores the relationship between creative activity and achievement with a focus on moderating role of dispositional self-regulation. On large sample (N = 687), we demonstrated robust links but also found that these associations are moderated by Moreover, was not only strong in terms effect size (rs ≥0.50) followed necessary-yet-not-sufficient pattern: impossible when low, yet high did guarantee achievement. We discuss theoretical practical consequences findings.
ABSTRACT While people approach creative actions in diverse ways, navigating them effectively requires self‐regulatory effort. In this preregistered experiment, we examined whether simple self‐regulation prompts, provided across the stages of process, make outcomes more creative. Participants ( N = 332) engaged one three creativity tasks—designing a logo, writing short story, or preparing greeting card—and documented their ongoing progress with photos. During task, half participants received...
Abstract Creativity is agentic, and so learning. People create learn new things most effectively when they are convinced that can respond appropriately to the task (creative confidence) value activity at hand. This investigation explores role of relatively understudied aspect creative agency: self-regulatory strategies. In a longitudinal study, we tested whether self-regulation strategies, previously found be essential drivers academic achievement learning in general (rehearsal, elaboration,...
Abstract Spontaneous creative activity among adolescents has been overlooked in creativity literature. This article overviews everyday adolescence, with a focus on medium-and -long term projects conducted in- and out-of-school. Almost one thousand Polish provided quite detailed descriptions of their within the last year. These activities were classified, particular multiple micro-domains. Students most often described behaviors performed outside school as compared to school-related...
Researchers and educators interested in creative writing need a reliable efficient tool to score the creativity of narratives, such as short stories. Typically, human raters manually assess narrative creativity, but subjective scoring is limited by labor costs rater disagreement. Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable success on tasks, yet they not been applied including multilingual In present study, we aimed test whether originality—a component creativity—could be automatically...
ABSTRACT Recent research suggests that working with generative artificial intelligence (AI), such as ChatGPT, can produce more creative outcomes than humans alone. However, does AI retain its edge when have access to alternative information sources, another human or the internet. We explored this question in a between‐group experiment 202 German participants across four conditions (human–human dyads, human–Internet, and two human–AI groups basic specific instructions) creativity tasks (two...

This study explores how adolescents regulate their activity while working on creative projects. A large sample (N = 739) of Polish reported most creative, complex project conducted within the last year and answered retrospectively framed self-regulation items related to this specific activity. Exploratory confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated a consistent pattern self-regulation, capturing pre-task self-regulatory strategies (obstacles expectations, uncertainty acceptance), during-task...
Abstract Ivancovsky et al. provide a compelling argument for the role of curiosity in creative thinking. We argue that (a) trait-like is necessary to engage actions and (b) state-like might be effectively strategically induced during interventions. Thus, we posit works an agentic strategic way strengthening creativity.
