  abstract = {This Education and Information Technologies study uses Q methodology with 40 university art students, explicitly including animation students alongside visual arts, design, and music, to examine how creative identity shapes responses to AI co-creation. The research identifies five distinct student stances ranging from authorship guardian to enthusiastic explorer, finding that creative identity is the primary axis dividing student responses rather than technical skill level. The typology gives educators a practical framework for differentiated studio support rather than treating student AI attitudes as uniform.},
