Subclaims¶

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q3 i? 78.3% of participants showed conservative intention in the second activity; 15.7% behaved persistently creative from intention to solution; 9.6% were non-intentional creatives who failed to reproduce their first solution. → Anaïs Leroy 2022 q3 i? Some participants' behavior changed against their initial intention, often due to problems with the material. → Anaïs Leroy 2022

q3 · i? · associational · r1

Video-based qualitative and descriptive analysis of the 115-participant CreaCube study classified participants into four profiles. The article reports "78.3% of conservative intention", 15.7% persistent creatives, 9.6% non-intentional creatives, and 6.1% switching from creative intention to conservative behavior.

"In this task, most of the participants behave in a conservative way when engaging in the second repeated activity (78.3% of conservative intention)."

q3 · i? · qualitative · r1

Video observation of non-intentional behavior in the CreaCube study found that in the majority of cases a problem with the material (wheels, sensor or inverter not oriented correctly) caused behavior changes despite initial intention.

"The observation of the video of the “non-intentional” behavior (i.e., participants who want to be creatives but fail to create a new vehicle or in the opposite the participants that wanted to reproduce the same vehicle but created a new) highlight in the majority of cases a problem with the material"

Discussion¶

Creative behavior persistence, operationalized as time spent in the second activity, predicts producing a creative solution — related
Behavioral intention translates only weakly into self-reported use behavior, and the extended UTAUT model explains intention formation better than enactment — a broader claim this one bears on
