The present research examined when self - evaluation influences creativity. Based on objective self - awareness theory, the authors predicted that feeling able to improve would buffer against the detrimental effects of self - evaluation on creativity. Two experiments manipulated self - evaluation (varying self - awareness, Study 1; providing objective performance standards, Study 2) and perceived ability to improve potential failure on the creativity task. Self - evaluation reduced creativity (generating remote associates, finding unusual uses for a knife) in both experiments, but only when people did not expect to improve. When people felt able to improve, self - evaluation did not affect creativity. Connections between self - motives, creativity, and defensiveness are discussed.
