A meta-analysis of the relation between creative self-efficacy and different creativity measurements

Haase, Jennifer ; Hoff, Eva LU ; Hanel, Paul and Innes-Ker, Åse LU (2018) In Creativity Research Journal 30(1). p.1-16
Abstract
This meta-analysis investigated the relations between creative self-efficacy (CSE) and creativity measures and hypothesized that self-assessed questionnaires would have a different relation to self-efficacy beliefs compared to other creativity tests. The meta-analysis synthesized 60 effect sizes from 41 papers (overall N = 17226). Taken as a whole, the relation between CSE and creativity measures was of medium size (r = .39). Subgroup analyses revealed that self-rated creativity correlated higher with self-efficacy (r = .53). The relation with divergent thinking (DT) tests was weak (r = .23). Creativity scales had a medium size relation (r = .43), and was stronger than the relation to verbal performance tasks (r = .27) and figural... (More)
