Abstract: AI-assisted creative writing raises fundamental questions about psychological ownership: to what extent do people experience co-created text as their own? Prior work has shown that greater human input into a prompt increases ownership, but whether prompting style and the opportunity to edit AI-generated text independently shape ownership, and how their effects interact, remains unclear. We report a preregistered mixed factorial experiment (N=273) in which participants wrote short stories either entirely by themselves or with AI assistance under one of two prompting styles (single-prompt vs.\ iterative), crossed with editing or not editing the AI-generated text. The central finding is that iterative prompting and editing may function as partially substitutable routes to psychological ownership: each can compensate for the absence of the other, consistent with perceived control and personal investment as additive routes to ownership. Editing significantly increased ownership, but the benefit was substantially larger for single-prompt users than for iterative prompters---who had already accumulated control and self-investment across successive prompting rounds. Prompting style alone did not significantly affect ownership. Writing without AI produced markedly higher ownership than all AI-assisted conditions, a gap that persisted after controlling for effort, perceived story quality, and intrinsic motivation. These findings advance understanding of how interaction design shapes psychological ownership in AI-assisted writing, with implications for interfaces that aim to preserve users' sense of creative ownership.
