Background and Purpose: As we move forward, the importance of adolescent student creativity becomes more apparent, yet creativity has received less attention among students. The aim of this study was to present a model of creativity based on psychological well-being mediated by the role of self-efficacy in students.
Method: In terms of purpose, this study was basic research that was conducted using the descriptive-correlative method and structural model analysis (SEM). The statistical population included all high school students studying in 2018–2019 in Abbas Abad, a city located in Mazandaran Province. In this regard, a sample of 314 people (269 girls and 45 boys) participated in the study using the available sampling method. Data were collected using the Creativity Questionnaire (Abedi, 1992), the Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scales (PWB) (Riff, 2002), and the Sherer's Genenal Self-Efficacy Scale (SGSES; 1982). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS and Lisrel software.
Results: The results of the research showed that the direct effect of psychological well-being on creativity is 0.31 (P = 0/002), self-efficacy on creativity is 0.37 (0/001), and psychological well-being on self-efficacy is 0.79 (P = 0/002). Also, the indirect effect of psychological well-being on creativity mediated by self-efficacy was 0.11 (T = 3/32). Therefore, according to the results, the present model had a good fit and was approved.
Conclusion: The present results provide valuable insights for researchers and educators on issues related to creativity for students, and the importance of self-efficacy in relation to students' creativity and psychological well-being has been supported. |
