Abstract:

This study explored the relationship between artificial intelligence usage and creative behavior, examining the mediating roles of creative role identity and creative self-efficacy, as well as the moderating role of intentional self-regulation, and surveyed 1626 college students. The results showed that: (1) Artificial intelligence usage positively predicted creative behavior; (2) Creative role identity and creative self-efficacy played partially mediating roles in the relation between artificial intelligence usage and creative behavior; (3) Intentional self-regulation played moderating role in the initial stage of two mediating effects. Specifically, intentional self-regulation significantly moderated the impact of artificial intelligence use on creative role identity and creative self-efficacy. The results are of great significance in revealing the intrinsic mechanism of artificial intelligence usage on creative behavior.
