Abstract:
This paper examines the growing use of generative artificial intelligence in design practices, where the humanmachine relationship is shifting from mere tool utilization to collaborative co-creation. It introduces the theory of psychological ownership to investigate designers’ subjective sense of ownership over creative outcomes under three distinct collaboration modes: fully human, human-led with AI assistance, and AI-led with human support. Through a three-level inter-group experiment, the study tests the mediating pathway of “collaboration mode—psychological ownership—creativity.” Findings reveal that the extent of AI involvement indirectly influences creative performance by modulating designers’ sense of control and psychological investment, offering theoretical guidance for designing humancentered AI collaboration systems.
随着生成式人工智能深度进入设计实践,人机关系正由工具使用转向协作共创。然而,当AI参与甚至主导创作过程时,设计师是否仍会将作品视为“自己的”,以及这种归属感变化是否进一步影响创造力,仍缺乏系统解释。基于心理所有权理论,本文构建“协作模式—心理所有权—创造力”分析框架,通过三水平组间实验比较纯人工创作、人主导AI辅助创作与AI主导人类参与创作三种模式。结果表明,随着AI主导性增强,设计师的心理所有权显著下降,作品在新颖性、适切性和精致度等维度上的创造力评分亦显著降低;心理所有权在协作模式影响创造力的过程中发挥了显著的部分中介作用。研究为理解AI辅助设计中创造力变化的心理过程提供了实证依据。
