On the relationship between creative potential and creative achievement: Challenges and future directions

Learning and Individual Differences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 110, P. 102424 - 102424

A central tenet in creativity research is that individual differences creative achievement arise from the interplay of potential. So far, however, measures potential (e.g., divergent thinking ability) have explained only very limited variance achievement. This article identifies eight conceptual and methodological challenges require attention study potential-achievement relationship, including considerations regarding proper assessment achievement, scope specificity potential, forms interaction developmental dynamics, role mediating behaviors, environmental influences, sample characteristics. These deliberations inform a model creativity, which outlines structure relevant components at levels behavior, under influence environment.

Does Metacognition Matter in Creative Problem‐Solving? A Mixed‐Methods Analysis of Writing

The Journal of Creative Behavior, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 8, 2024

ABSTRACT Creative problem‐solving skills are essential for navigating complex, non‐routine challenges, enabling individuals to create unique goals, execute innovative procedures and generate original outcomes. While the link between metacognitive creativity of outcomes was established only recently, further exploration is required understand their interplay in complex problem‐solving. This explanatory sequential mixed‐methods study investigated role metacognition solving two ill‐defined tasks: an experimental Product Improvement Task ecologically valid semestral essay. Seventeen undergraduates performed tasks provided monitoring judgments. Based on originality accuracy judgments, three clusters students were identified: skilled unaware underestimating high performance, unskilled overestimating low but aware accurately performance. Subsequent in‐depth interviews essay writing process each cluster. Skilled effectively utilized knowledge, created a problem representation, gathered synthesized new information develop drafts that debugged evaluated. Unskilled exhibited deficits strategy knowledge had poor skills. self‐efficacy motivation perform. These findings emphasize need targeted motivational interventions different students.

Contributions of Metacognition to Creative Performance and Behavior

The Journal of Creative Behavior, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: May 1, 2024

ABSTRACT How are ideas born? Contrary to commonly held beliefs, creative performance, like any goal‐oriented action, requires understanding and managing one's own cognitive processes – thus, efficient metacognition. Recently, a systematic framework of metacognition (CMC) has been proposed, assuming the relevance metacognitive knowledge, monitoring, control in performance. Here, we provide first comprehensive empirical examination this conception. Specifically, an online sample ( N = 425) performed divergent thinking (DT) tasks gave insight relevant aspects during task The study revealed that all three proposed components CMC played independent roles enhancing including creativity fluency. Among these components, showed strongest positive association with As expected, was especially imminent performance but some real‐life creativity. These findings evidence postulated support and, lesser degree, behavior. In discussion, delve deeper into specific subcomponents touch upon differences between self‐regulation

Managing Your Muse: Exploring Three Levels of Metacognitive Control in Creative Ideation

Creativity Research Journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 12

Published: May 13, 2024

Creative ideation tasks are typically ill-defined and thus should benefit from metacognition. However, the role of metacognitive processes―especially control―in creative appears understudied. Therefore, we conducted an online study investigating relationship between different aspects control divergent thinking (DT) performance. In line with recently proposed metacognition framework , devised measures that delineate at levels task, performance, responses: Metacognitive task level was assessed in terms attention focus devoted to each task; performance goal-directedness employed strategy; response how effectively uncreative ideas were screened out. We observed substantial individual differences all three as well first evidence their validity. Importantly, independently predicted higher DT creativity. Additional analyses suggested effects may extend behavior, partly mediated by DT. sum, this provides empirical support for relevance distinguishable

Metacognitive Feelings as a Source of Information for the Creative Process: A Conceptual Exploration

Journal of Intelligence, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11(3), P. 49 - 49

Philosophers and psychologists have debated the wisdom of using feelings as a source information when making decisions. While not trying to solve this debate, complementary approach is examine how metacognitive are used generating, evaluating, selecting ideas creative problems whether their use leads accurate idea evaluation selection. Hence, conceptual article aims explore evaluate select ideas. Interestingly, while come from perceived ease or difficulty generating solutions problems, these also inform decision continue stop.

No strong support for a Dunning–Kruger effect in creativity: analyses of self-assessment in absolute and relative terms

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: May 24, 2024

Competencies related to the evaluation of own cognitive processes, called metacognitive monitoring, are crucial as they help decide whether persist in or desist from efforts. One most well-known phenomena this context-the Dunning-Kruger effect-is that less skilled people tend overestimate their performance. This effect has been reported for various kinds performance including creativity. More recently, however, it suggested phenomenon could be a statistical artifact caused by better-than-average and regression toward mean. Therefore, we examined context creative thinking (i.e., divergent ability) across two studies (Study 1: N = 425; Study 2: 317) applied classical quartile-based analysis well newly recommended, advanced approaches: Glejser test heteroscedasticity nonlinear quadratic regression. We found results indeed depended on employed method: While analyses supported all conditions, was not consistently more methods. These findings line with recent work challenging certain assumptions discuss factors undermine accurate self-assessments, especially

The Role of Semantic Associations as a Metacognitive Cue in Creative Idea Generation

Is my idea creative? This question directs investing in companies and choosing a research agenda. Following previous research, we focus on the originality of ideas consider their association with self-assessments generators regarding own originality. We operationalize score as frequency (%) each within sample participants judgment self-assessment this frequency. Initial evidence suggests that scores judgments are produced by separate processes. As result, prone to biases. So far, heuristic cues lead such biases hardly known. used methods from computational linguistics examine semantic distance potential cue underlying judgments. examined extent which would contribute additional explanatory value predicting judgments, above beyond known research.

While research on creative personality has a long history, most studies have focused the relationship between traits and achievements. In this concise review, I propose broadening our perspective by including self-beliefs, malleable self-related schemas, also known as surface characteristics, alongside traditional traits, core characteristics that are relatively stable. present summary of research, which examines discriminant incremental validity these two types characteristics. argue combining individual differences with socio-cultural enables better understanding transition from potential to achievements, even when accounting for such established predictors intelligence divergent thinking.
