The Association between Parent-Child Attachment and Creativity:The Chain Mediating Role of Openness to Experience and Creative Self-Efficacy
Objective:The present research focused on the relationship between parent-child attachment and creativity,as well as the chain mediating effect of openness to experience and creative self-efficacy.Methods:A sample of 642 col-lege students was enrolled in the present research to fill out the inventory of parent and peer attachment,self-efficacy scale,NEO five-factor inventory,and Runco innovation behavior scale.Results:The relationships between parent-child attach-ment,creativity,openness to experience and creative self-efficacy were significantly positive.Parent-child attachment posi-tively predicted creativity.The mediating effects of openness to experience and creative self-efficacy between parent-child attachment and creativity were significant,and the chain mediating effects of openness to experience and creative self-efficacy were significant.Conclusion:Parent-child attachment could directly predict creativity,and creativity could also be indirectly influenced by parent-child attachment through the chain mediating path of openness to experience and cre-ative self-efficacy.
