In the present investigation, we make the claim that the creative process of generating, evaluating, and selecting ideas has cognitive and metacognitive components, capable of influencing each other. Hence, we suggest broadening the scope of creative metacognition. We take an exploratory approach to test relationships between creative beliefs and metacognitive indicators in three studies with business students. Across three studies, overestimation of the quality of one´s ideas and originality scores had a negative relationship with accurate idea selection. Creative self-efficacy, growth mindsets, and ease of idea generation were positively related to the overestimation of the creativity of ideas generated. In addition, creative self-efficacy and growth mindsets had a positive relationship with originality scores. We also found some results that were interesting, but inconsistent across all three studies. Ease of idea generation, for example, had a positive relationship with accurate idea selection but a non-significant relationship in the remaining two studies. Similarly, originality scores significantly informed ease of idea generation in one of three studies. The applied and theoretical implications for creative metacognition were discussed.

想法的产生、选择和评估：一种元认知方法

在本次调查中，我们声称产生、评估和选择想法的创造性过程具有认知和元认知成分，能够相互影响。因此，我们建议扩大创造性元认知的范围。我们在与商科学生的三项研究中采用探索性方法来测试创造性信念和元认知指标之间的关系。在三项研究中，高估想法的质量和原创性分数与准确的想法选择呈负相关。创造性的自我效能、成长心态和容易产生想法与高估所产生想法的创造力呈正相关。此外，创造性的自我效能感和成长心态与原创性得分呈正相关。我们还发现了一些有趣的结果，但在所有三项研究中都不一致。例如，创意产生的容易程度与准确的创意选择有正相关关系，但在其余两项研究中关系不显着。同样，在三项研究中的一项中，独创性得分显着影响了创意产生的难易程度。讨论了创造性元认知的应用和理论意义。
