| zusgh_v1 | The Creative Endowment Effect | Creativity researchers often distinguish between two stages of the creative process: generation versus selection. While much is known about the psychology of idea generation (e.g., the factors that lead to a greater number of novel and useful ideas), less is understood about the nature of selection, or how generation and selection interact. Here we investigate how the act of generating ideas may potentially distort the selection process. Using an incentive-compatible paradigm in which pairs of participants reviewed the same ideas and were rewarded for submitting only high-quality ideas, we find that people submit a greater number of lower-quality ideas when selecting among their own ideas than when selecting among another person’s ideas. This effect generalizes across tasks and domains and is resistant to informational interventions (e.g., explicitly telling people about the effect). However, delayed re-engagement with their own ideas (e.g., revisiting them after several months) increased people’s selectivity. Broader implications for individuals and organizations are discussed. | 2025-05-08T18:41:27.042382 | 2025-05-08T18:47:01.913087 | 2025-05-08T18:46:42.619710 | 2025-05-08T04:00:00 | psyarxiv | 1 | pending | 1 | 1 | https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/zusgh_v1 | CC-By Attribution 4.0 International | creativity; egocentric bias; endowment effect; generation versus selection; idea generation; idea selection | ["creativity", "egocentric bias", "endowment effect", "generation versus selection", "idea generation", "idea selection"] | Jin Kim; George E.
