Creativity Self-Efficacy Mediation Analysis
Purpose
This skill encodes expert methodological knowledge for analyzing the psychological mechanisms through which AI tools (ChatGPT, web search) affect human creativity. Specifically, it covers SEM-based mediation analysis with creative self-efficacy as a mediator, and moderation analysis using baseline creativity. A general-purpose programmer could run a mediation analysis package, but would not know why creative self-efficacy is the theoretically motivated mediator, how to measure it, what the RAT measures and why it is the appropriate baseline, or how to interpret the indirect effect in the context of creativity theory.
When to Use This Skill
- Investigating why an intervention affects creativity (not just whether it does)
- Testing whether creative self-efficacy mediates the effect of AI/tool use on creative output
- Examining whether baseline creativity moderates the effect of AI assistance
- Designing a study that needs both mediation and moderation analysis for creativity outcomes
- Specifying SEM models for creativity research using lavaan (R)
Research Planning Protocol
Before executing the domain-specific steps below, you MUST:
- State the research question — What mechanism or moderator is being tested?
