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.
q2 i2 Self-assessed creative performance correlated moderately with rated divergent thinking (r = .30). → Lebuda 2025
q2 i1 Self-assessed idea creativity showed only a small correlation with the divergent thinking ratings it was based on (r = .10). → Lebuda 2025
Evidence¶
Lebuda 2025¶
Lebuda, I., Hofer, G., & Benedek, M. (2025). Determinants of creative metacognitive monitoring: creativity, personality, and task-related predictors of self-assessed ideas and creative performance. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-025-09432-2
q2 · i2 · associational · r2
Correlational analysis in the online study (N = 425) with BCa bootstrapped confidence intervals: "self-assessed creative performance correlated moderately with rated divergent thinking (max-3 score; r =.30; p <.001)" while idea self-assessment showed only a small correlation.
"While self-assessed creative performance correlated moderately with rated divergent thinking (max-3 score; r =.30; p <.001), self-assessed idea creativity showed only a small correlation with the average divergent thinking ratings"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Self-assessed creative performance and self-assessed idea creativity are moderately correlated but empirically distinct judgments — related
- Higher divergent thinking, creative self-efficacy, creative self-concept, and task motivation predict more positive self-assessed creative performance — related
- Self-assessed creative performance is slightly underestimated while self-assessed idea creativity is moderately overestimated — related
- Primary studies report possible benefits of GenAI for children's divergent thinking, narrative creativity and creative self-efficacy, without confirmed efficacy — related
- Teachers' ratings of children's creativity correlate poorly with psychometric performance, and teachers tend to prefer appropriate answers over novel ones — related
