Creativity and Regulatory Focus: Human and AI Ratings with Personality Scores

A dataset supporting two studies on creativity and regulatory focus, last updated on 2026-04-27. Study One compares expert human judges with prompted and unprompted ChatGPT-4o creativity ratings on two realistic tasks, examining interrater reliability and validity. Study Two tests the causal effects of state regulatory focus on creativity across idea generation and evaluation stages, using prompted AI raters. The data includes participant demographics, personality and regulatory focus trait scores, and creativity ratings from human and AI sources.
