A Semiotic Cultural Psychology Analysis of Musical Improvisation: Creativity as an Affective-Sociocultural Act.
Review in Integrative psychological & behavioral science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 article examines the role of Affectivity in collaborative musical improvisation from a cultural-semiotic perspective. Drawing on published empirical accounts of free and jazz improvisation, we analyze how affective-semiotic regulation participates in the changing relations among musicians, musical materials, perspectives, and possibilities for action. The analysis focuses on pleromatization and schematization, perspectival-reflective semiosis, self-regulation, and orientation toward future possibilities. We argue that Affectivity operates across the distributed relations described by the 5 A's framework, participating in how these relations acquire significance and orient creative action. On this basis, the 6 A's Model is proposed as a heuristic extension that makes this transversal regulatory dimension explicit. The article contributes an affective-semiotic account of how creative activity can remain organized while preserving openness to possibilities that are not determined in advance.
