Description du projet
À quel point pensons-nous être créatifs?
La créativité et l’innovation sont des déterminants importants de la compétitivité. Définie comme la capacité à générer des idées nouvelles et efficaces, la créativité peut stimuler le progrès culturel et servir de base à l’innovation – ce qui est crucial pour accroître la compétitivité économique et renforcer la société. Sur le plan personnel, la créativité favorise le bien-être et l’apprentissage. Le projet CreativeMetacognitio, financé par l’UE, examinera les différences individuelles en matière de métacognition créative (CMC) – la connaissance de soi et du contexte utilisée pour prendre des décisions concernant ses propres efforts et réalisations sur le plan créatif. Il s’appuiera sur des recherches montrant que le comportement créatif est une décision autodéterminée. L’objectif de cette bourse Marie Skłodowska-Curie est d’étudier la précision de la CMC et d’analyser les facettes de la régulation de la CMC d’un point de vue comportemental et neuroscientifique.
Objectif
Creativity, defined as the ability to generate novel and effective ideas, elevates cultural progress and as a basis for innovation is crucial for enhancing economic competitiveness and strengthening society. On personal level, creativity increases well-being, positive affect, flourishing, and plays an essential role in learning. Creative behavior is an agentic decision and it also depends on the conviction about one’s own abilities to manage the creativity challenge and on how much creativity is valued by that person and surroundings. The constellation of beliefs that determine a person’s engagement and performance on creative endeavors called creative self-beliefs. It was proved that these self-beliefs play an intermediary role between creative abilities and creative action behavior So far, of the all components of creative self-beliefs we know the least about creative metacognition, which is defined as a combination of creative self-knowledge (knowing one’s own creative strengths and limitations) and contextual knowledge (knowing when, where, how, and why to be creative). Even though several researchers and theorists pointed out that creative metacognition plays an essential role in the process of creative potential realization, there is still very little research on this topic.Based on available theories and research results, we propose a two-stage research program to extend knowledge about individual differences in creative metacognition (CMC) considering 1) CMC accuracy and 2) CMC regulation facets from a behavioral and neuroscientific perspective. The Maria Skłodowska Fellowship participation will facilitate successful execution of the project, but also target areas, in which I require additional skill development to prepare and position me for a career as an independent researcher, ready to gain habilitation.
