The Influence of Trait and State Creative Self-Efficacy on Creative Behavior: An Experimental Study Using False Feedback.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study explores the relationship between creative self-efficacy and creative behavior by modulating state-level creative self-efficacy through false feedback to enhance creative performance. In Study 1, 1539 college students completed the Alternative Uses Task (AUT) to measure performance-based creativity and the Creative Achievement Questionnaire (CAQ) to assess self-reported creative achievements. The Big Five personality traits and curiosity served as covariates. Regression and correlation analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between trait-level creative self-efficacy and both creative performance measures. Experiment 2 employed a 2 × 2 between-subjects design to test the effects of false feedback (positive vs. negative) and trait-level creative self-efficacy (high vs. low) on state-level creative self-efficacy and creative behavior, using the same covariates. In Study 1, creative self-efficacy was positively correlated with both AUT and CAQ, with stronger associations for CAQ. Experiment 2 found that false feedback significantly affected state-level creative self-efficacy and the originality of creative behavior. Changes in state-level creative self-efficacy were positively correlated with originality. This study emphasizes the role of both trait and state-level creative self-efficacy in influencing creative behavior. It offers insights for enhancing creativity through feedback, with implications for educational and workplace settings.
