The murky distinction between self-concept and self-efficacy. Beware of lurking jingle-jangle fallacies
This study extends the classic constructive dialogue/debate between self-concept and self-efficacy researchers (Marsh, Roche, Pajares & Miller, 1997) regarding the distinctions between these two constructs. The study is a substantive-methodological synergy, bringing together new substantive, theoretical and statistical models, and developing new tests of the classic jingle-jangle fallacy. We demonstrate that in a representative sample of 3,350 students from math classes in 43 German schools, gen...
Creativity researchers have conceptualized and studied creativity in a variety of ways. One common approach is to treat creative thought and action as if they are static phenomena that can be assessed using fixed measures. In this chapter, we argue for a more dynamic, micro-longitudinal approach to studying creativity in classrooms. We open with a brief discussion of our operating assumptions about creative thought and action, which serve as the basis for our argument. We then discuss examples o...
This article introduces the Inventory of Creative Activities and Achievements (ICAA), a broad-based assessment of individual differences in real-life creativity. The ICAA provides independent scales for the frequency of engagement in everyday creative activity and the level of creative achievement across 8 creative domains. A formal test analysis based on 7 Little-C samples and 2 Pro-C samples (overall N = 1,566) provides evidence for the reliability and validity of the ICAA test scores. The ana...
In this chapter, we argue that the way researchers (including ourselves) have conceptualized and measured creative self-beliefs may blur important distinctions among these beliefs. We focus our discussion on three key self-beliefs: creative self-efficacy, creative metacognition, and creative self-concept. More specifically, we aim to clarify how these beliefs are conceptually distinct, highlight key areas of conceptual overlap, and offer our recommendations on how researchers might revise or dev...

This commentary addresses the functional properties of perceived self-efficacy in the context of a set of studies contending that belief in one’s capabilities has debilitating or null effects. It encompasses four theoretical orientations. These include social cognitive theory rooted in an agentic perspective, control theory grounded in a cybernetic model, and trait self-efficacy theory and Big Five theory based on a decontextualized trait model. Critical analyses of the studies in question docum...

The contribution Openness to Experience and its two aspects to the explanation of idea generation, evaluation and selection: A metacognitive perspective
Abstract null null This investigation is part of a line of research examining the implications of Openness to Experience for creative metacognition. We assessed the relationships between Openness to Experience and its two aspects and idea generation, evaluation and selection, using a metacognitive approach. In studies 1 and 2, participants completed a battery of questionnaires assessing Openness to Experience, demographic questions and a divergent thinking task. In addition, participants were as...
Abstract null null This article is an edited version of a Keynote Address provided for the 2021 Creativity Conference hosted by Southern Oregon University. The talk opens with the following question: “What role does our experience with uncertainty play in our creative thoughts and actions?” The remainder of the talk is focused on addressing this question, starting with the assertion that there is no creativity without uncertainty and several other operating assumptions aimed at establishing a ba...
Social Environmental Factors and Personal Motivational Factors Associated with Creative Achievement: A Cross‐Cultural Perspective
This study used structured interviews to examine cyclical relations among self-regulated learning (SRL) processes before (forethought), during (performance), and after (self-reflection) engagement ...
Exploring the Effect of Perceived Teacher Support on Multiple Creativity Tasks: Based on the Expectancy-Value Model of Achievement Motivation.
Abstract Research concerning beliefs about the malleability of personal characteristics has recently turned to a focus on heterogeneity, including the exploration of moderators of intervention effectiveness and construct-specificity of implicit beliefs. This moving beyond a mean-level approach can provide insight into the differential types of implicit beliefs endorsed by individuals. In the current study, we used data from 163 pre-service teachers to explore heterogeneity in beliefs about intel...
Abstract Although adolescent creativity development is a promising area of research in the field, there is still much to be known with respect to the factors involved in adolescent creativity development and the role of the social context herein. The purpose of this systematic review study was to identify and summarize factors associated with enhancing or inhibiting adolescent creativity in a sample of 64 published studies. We classified supportive and inhibiting factors into four categories: in...
Building creative confidence through an interdisciplinary creativity course: Changes in creative challenges and creative personal identity
Creative confidence can be reflected in our identities and behaviours. The study explored perception changes in creative challenges and creative personal identity among first-year-in-college studen...
The effective components of creativity in digital game-based learning among young children: A case study
Abstract Recent studies regarding digital game-based learning (DGBL) are increasing, having the potential to enable new forms of learning, however, it remains unclear how DGBL applications can impact young students’ creativity. The main purpose of this study is to investigate whether DGBL application technologies (tablets and smartphones), can improve creativity skills in preschool children (aged 3-6) and “what the main components effective of creative skills are to enhance learning for young ch...
