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.
本研究通过虚假反馈调节状态层面的创造性自我效能感以提高创造性表现，从而探究创造性自我效能感与创造性行为之间的关系。在研究1中，1539名大学生完成了替代用途任务（AUT）以测量基于表现的创造力，并完成了创造性成就问卷（CAQ）以评估自我报告的创造性成就。大五人格特质和好奇心作为协变量。进行回归分析和相关分析以检验特质层面的创造性自我效能感与两种创造性表现测量之间的关系。实验2采用2×2被试间设计，使用相同的协变量，来测试虚假反馈（积极与消极）和特质层面的创造性自我效能感（高与低）对状态层面的创造性自我效能感和创造性行为的影响。在研究1中，创造性自我效能感与AUT和CAQ均呈正相关，与CAQ的关联更强。实验2发现，虚假反馈显著影响状态层面的创造性自我效能感和创造性行为的新颖性。状态层面的创造性自我效能感的变化与新颖性呈正相关。本研究强调了特质层面和状态层面的创造性自我效能感在影响创造性行为中的作用。它为通过反馈提高创造力提供了见解，对教育和工作场所环境具有启示意义。
