“…Importantly, there are reasons to believe that tCSE not only predicts such varying creativity-related outcomes as creative activity or creative achievement, but also that it mediates the relationship between different characteristics. This mediational hypothesis was recently proposed (Karwowski & Barbot, 2016; and empirically demonstrated in a growing number of studies (Chen, 2016;. According to this perspective, several characteristics usually described under the umbrella of potential-be it creative ability, personality, or intelligence-build creative confidence thanks to the effectiveness of functioning and previous successes.…”

“…Karwowski and Lebuda () have demonstrated that tCSE partially mediates the relationship between openness and creative activity. Chen () showed full mediation of creative self‐concept in the relationship between openness and creative behavior. In a more elaborate “creativity behavior as an agentic action” (CBAA) model, Karwowski and Beghetto (in press) proposed that while creative confidence builds a sense of agency and thus mediates the relationship between creative potential and creative achievement, valuing creativity moderates this link.…”

“…Indeed, so far, a number of studies have demonstrated that tCSE does predict creative achievements (Chen, 2016;Tierney & Farmer, 2002). In organizational settings, Tierney and Farmer (2002) showed that CSE predicts employees' creative performance, and this relationship is moderated by job self-efficacy.…”

This study explores the relationship between critical thinking disposition and scientific creativity and examines the hypothesized mediating role played by creative self‐concept (trait‐like creative self‐efficacy). A large sample (N = 1,153) of Chinese high school students filled the Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory and revised trait‐like creative self‐efficacy scale, and then solved Scientific Creativity Test for Adolescent. Structural equation modeling has demonstrated that students’ critical thinking disposition was positively related to their creative self‐concept and scientific creativity, and creative self‐concept fully mediated the link between critical thinking disposition and scientific creativity. We discuss these findings in terms of the hypothetical role played by creative self‐concept for creative functioning.

“…Indeed, a person's belief system participates in the agentic action of transition from creative potential to creative behavior . People often choose not to try creative behaviors when they are unsure of their abilities (i.e., they hold low creative confidence, Chen, 2016;Choi, 2004), or when the perceived personal value of creativity is low (Plucker & Makel, 2010), or see SELF-REGULATION AND CREATIVITY people in the creative process. In sum, the support-and-sustain component of self-regulation rests on planning and implementation, persistence in the face of obstacles, and managing emotions.…”

This study explores how adolescents regulate their activity while working on creative projects. A large sample (N = 739) of Polish adolescents reported on their most creative, complex project conducted within the last year and answered retrospectively framed self-regulation items related to this specific activity. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated a consistent pattern of self-regulation, capturing pre-task self-regulatory strategies (obstacles expectations, uncertainty acceptance), during-task strategies (adjusting approach, managing and reframing ambiguous goals, emotion regulation and dealing with obstacles), and post-task strategies (improving approach, readiness for sharing). Participants’ personality, creative self-concept, and creative mindsets were robustly related to the different strategies reported. Additionally, strategies resulted in differences in judges-assessed creativity of the projects conducted. We discuss the theoretical consequences and future research directions for creative self-regulation studies.

“…This belief is highly malleable and influenced by sociocognitive and environmental factors (Bandura, 1997). Creative confidence mediates the relationships between creative potential and creative behavior (Beghetto et al, 2020;Chen, 2016;Choi, 2004). People who believe in their creative abilities are more engaged in creative tasks and challenges (Carmeli & Schaubroeck, 2007;Pretz & McCollum, 2014;Tierney & Farmer, 2002;Tierney & Farmer, 2011).…”

Family rules, routines, and resources shape children’s creativity. However, little is known about how parents’ creative self-beliefs and creative activity are related to the lifestyle adults create in their families. Family lifestyle might be operationalized as referring to domain-general dimensions of family functioning (cohesion, flexibility, communication, and family satisfaction) and domain-specific factors related to creativity (encouragement to experience novelty and varieties; encouragement to nonconformism; support of perseverance in creative efforts; encouragement to fantasize). To explore the link between parents’ creativity-related characteristic and family lifestyle, 303 Polish parents (57% mothers) of children aged between 6 and 10 (M = 7.99; SD = 1.38) reported on their creative self-beliefs, creative activity, overall family characteristics, and climate for creativity in their families. We found that both parents’ creative self-beliefs (creative self-efficacy and creative personal identity) and their creative activity predict support for creativity in the family and more general balanced and satisfying family relationships. We discuss these findings, point new paths for future research, and suggest interventions in regards to the family creativity-fostering environment.
