    A Recipe for Success? Sustaining Creativity Among First-Time Creative Producers -- Dataset Used for Study 3

    No full text
    AbstractSustaining creativity is difficult. We identify the conditions that determine repeat production of novelty among first-time producers, and the psychological mechanism transmitting their effects. Our theoretical model highlights that the novelty of a first production can lower the probability of creating a second production, particularly when the first production is bestowed with an award or recognition. This effect occurs primarily because individuals who win an award for a prior novel production experience a greater threat to their creative identity when anticipating having to produce follow-up novel work. We test our theoretical model in three studies: an archival study of first-time cookbook authors in the United Kingdom and two experiments. Our results provide some support for our theoretical model—award-winning producers of novel cookbooks (or ideas for them) are less likely to follow-up their initial production with a second one, largely because of the potential erosion to a person’s creative identity that doing so may cause. Our findings highlight the intricacies of sustaining creativity over time and offer insights into why some producers abandon their creative efforts.DescriptionThe same dataset in two different formats and a file with the commands to run the code in Stata.Variables included:second_novel_idea 0 = Participants who chose to exploit their work by developing an idea for a sequel or for a marketing campaign for the first cookbook they had written1 = Participants who chose to develop another idea for a second, new cookbook themenovel0 = Participants in the conventional condition1 = Participants in the novel conditionaward0 = Participants in the no award condition1 = Participants in the award conditioncreative_identity_threatAverage of seven different items measuring a participant's creative identity threat (on a scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree))creative_identityAverage of five different items (based on Farmer et al., 2003) measuring a participant's creative identity (on a scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree))declining_creativity_beliefs Average of three different itmes (Lucas and Nordgren, 2020) measuring a participant's declining creativity beliefs (on a scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree))exploitation_inclinations Average of four different itmes (based on Mom et al., 2009) measuring a participant's exploitation inclinations (on a scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree))female0 = Male participant1 = Female participantageAge of the participant at the time that the experiment was conducted</div

    Novelty: Searching for, Seeing, and Sustaining It

    The journey of novelty – from the moment it arises to the time it takes hold – is an exciting but also often a problematic one. A new entity, to be recognized as such, needs to be differentiated from what existed before. However, novelty poses cognitive challenges that hamper its appreciation since it is difficult to form expectations about and make sense of something genuinely new. And since novel ideas, products, technologies, or organizational forms often violate existing practices and social structures, they are usually met with skepticism and resistance. In this introductory piece, we take stock of research into the challenges of generating, recognizing, and legitimating novelty. We review each volume chapter and highlight the new perspectives and insights they offer about how individuals, teams, and organizations search for novelty, see novelty, and sustain novelty. Finally, we outline several research themes that, we believe, are worthy of further scholarly attention

    There are many instances in which a symbiotic partnership was the foundation of an extraordinary successful project. In this article, which is based on a study of the Italian movie industry, the authors identified the elements that make such relationships work

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
