“…One limitation of this study was that all participants were Japanese. As Japan is a culture that emphasizes effort (Toyama et al, 2022), it is possible that there are cultural differences in beliefs about the role of persistence in creativity, which could affect the generalizability of the findings. However, it is interesting to note that even the Japanese, who emphasize effort, underappreciate the importance of persistent thinking.…”

Prior research suggests that people have implicit beliefs about creativity that are often incomplete and may not be consistent with current empirical evidence. We conducted four studies to examine whether recognizing the importance of persistence in creativity leads to better creative performance. First, in a pilot study, a questionnaire survey of 199 people showed that people value flexible but not persistent thinking in creativity. In Studies 1 through 3, we investigated the purpose of this study using the experimental paradigm employing the Unusual Uses Task. Specifically, Study 1 (n = 94) and Study 2 (n = 80) showed that compared to participants who did not consider persistence to be valuable to creativity, individuals who did consider it to be valuable had a reduced persistence underestimation effect and an increased serial order effect. Study 3 (n = 365) showed that participants who received instruction on the importance of persistence in creativity improved their creativity in persistent creativity tasks compared with those who did not receive such instruction. In Study 3, we also examined the mechanism and showed that it was mediated by the time spent working on creativity task. The results suggest that beliefs about creativity are determinants of creative performance and that if people can recognize the importance of persistence in creativity, they can work on creative tasks more persistently and thus improve their creativity.

Fisher & Oyserman(2017)は，課題に関する動機づけを規定する要因として，課題の困難さや容易さそのものではなく，その困難さや容易さが何を意味していると人が捉えるのかが重要であることを提起した。そして，課題遂行中に経験する困難さと容易さの捉え方の個人差を測定する「経験についての暗黙理論尺度 (Lay Theories of Experience Measures) 」を作成した。このうち，困難な状態においては，「その課題を遂行することが不可能である」と捉えるものと，「その課題が重要である」と捉えるものの 2 つの暗黙理論があると考え，前者を「困難を不可能と捉える暗黙理論 (difficulty-as-impossibility lay theory) 」，後者を「困難を重要と捉える暗黙理論(difficulty-as-importance lay theory) 」としている 3 。 Fisher & Oyserman(2017)は，作成した「経験についての暗黙理論尺度」を用いて，認知課題の成績との目標追求時の困難な経験に対する信念尺度の開発 1, 2

This study reviewed 28 research papers published in The Japanese Journal of Educational Psychology, from issue 3 of volume 69 to issue 2 of volume 70, to assess new research practices such as pre-registration, the use of the Open Science Framework, and statistical methods, including Bayesian methods. The results indicated that these new research practices were not pervasive in the journal. We also discussed new research practices and statistical methods from the severe testing perspective. In addition, a confidence curve was explained to visualize the results of statistical hypothesis testing. Finally, based on the insights from our results, several approaches were proposed to improve these new research practices and statistical analyses.
