“…Because integrated regulation does not place as much focus on protecting the ego, the risk of being exposed as the "weak link" may not be perceived as threatening and thus does not affect motivation to play to the same extent. However, it should be mentioned that previous studies have concluded that more intrinsic and extrinsic motivational tendencies do not rule out one another, but tend to rather dynamically coexist in effecting creativity (Agnoli et al, 2018). This could also be the case when it comes to performance within a video game context.…”

“…Another potential explanation for the non-significant relationship between performance and intrinsic motivation is the interaction between personality trait and type of motivation. Previous studies have shown that, although intrinsic motivation is considered an aspect that spurs creativity, it does not work in isolation, but only in combination with certain personality traits (i.e., openness; Prabhu et al, 2008 ; Agnoli et al, 2015 , 2018 ). This could be an explanation for the non-significant relationship between intrinsic motivation and performance, but because we did not control for personality type in this study, this is only speculation.…”

Esports are a rapidly growing phenomenon and understanding of factors underlying game performance are therefore of great interest. The present study investigated the influence of satisfaction of basic psychological needs (competence, autonomy, and relatedness), type of motivation (amotivation, external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, integrated regulation, and intrinsic motivation), and number of matches played (time on task) on individuals' performance on a matchmaking rating (MMR) in the video game Defence of the Ancients 2 (Dota 2). Collected data from 315 participants was included in the analyses. A web-based questionnaire was used to collect data and structural equation modelling (SEM) was performed to analyze the data. The results show that perceived competence and autonomy were the only significant predictors of MMR performance beyond matches played. Fulfillment of relatedness, as well as motivational factors, were not found to be predictors of MMR scores. The strong effect of matches played, used as proxy of time on task, emphasize the effect of time and practice as a critical aspect of video-game expertise.

“…Creative achievement was measured by the CAAC, which is part of the Runco Creativity Assessment Battery. The CAAC is one of the most widely used measures for assessing creative achievement, and its reliability and validity have been demonstrated in a number of past studies (Holland, 1960; Wallach and Wing, 1969; Hocevar, 1981; Runco et al, 1990; Milgram and Hong, 1999; Paek et al, 2016; Agnoli et al, 2018). The present study used a short 45-item version of the instrument that referred to the artistic, scientific, and everyday creative domains.…”

“…Openness to experience captures the extent to which individuals are imaginative, open-minded, and curious, and it is considered the most significant predictor within the personality domain of divergent thinking performance in terms of originality and fluency (McCrae, 1987; Agnoli et al, 2015; Puryear et al, 2017). Furthermore, openness seems to relate to creative achievement in a wide range of domains and contexts (Feist, 1998; Kaufman, 2013; Agnoli et al, 2018). To control for the potential influence of inter-individual differences in terms of openness, we explored whether openness may both directly and indirectly influence creative achievement in a group of advertising professionals (e.g., Baer and Oldham, 2006; Leung et al, 2008; Jauk et al, 2014).…”

Creativity in the Advertisement Domain: The Role of Experience on Creative Achievement

et al. 2019

The creativity of an advertisement campaign is one of the most relevant predictors of its success. Past research has highlighted the relevance of domain-specific experience in enhancing creativity, but the results are controversial. We explored the role of work experience, in terms of number of years spent in the advertisement domain, in various forms of creativity expressed within this specific working domain. We hypothesized a mediator role of experience in the relationship between the individual’s creative potential, as measured through a series of divergent thinking tasks, and creative achievement in the advertisement domain. Moreover, considering the importance of personality in creative achievement, we also explored the influence of the openness-to-experience on advertisers’ creative achievement. A range of measures assessing creative achievement, openness, and divergent thinking abilities in terms of fluency and originality were administered to a group of professionals in the advertisement domain. The results demonstrate a crucial role for experience in the connection between originality and creative achievement. Moreover, our findings extend previous studies by showing that fluency and openness are significant predictors of creative achievement in the advertisement environment. These results emphasize the importance of canalizing the advertiser’s divergent thinking abilities through appropriate routes provided by working experience, raising important implications for future explorations of domain-specific creative achievement within an individual differences framework. Final indications for future developments are provided, with a special emphasis on the replication of these findings in various work domains and in various cultural contexts.

“…As recently demonstrated, creative self-efficacy, creative self-concept, and-especially-creative metacognition mediate the relationship between adolescents' personal (e.g., persistence in learning) and environmental (e.g., perceived support for creativity in school) factors and their creative production (Anderson & Haney, 2020). Thus, presumably, individual differences in self-regulation processes that characterize young people's creative activities are even more dynamic and strongly affected by social context (Agnoli et al, 2018) than established adults' creativity.…”

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.
