Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to test the mediating effect of children's creativity on the relationship among the openness to experience(OE) trait, maternal parenting behaviors, and their subjective well-being. 248 children attending elementary schools in the rural areas of Korea and their mothers were recruited. Results indicated that creativity partially mediated the relations between children's OE and their subjective well-being. However, creativity did not mediate the relations between maternal parenting behaviors and children's subjective well-being. Results of the present study suggest that the OE may influence children's adjustment through creativity. It is also implied that there may be no optimal parenting style which unconditionally promotes children's creativity.

본 연구는 창의성과 많은 관련을 가진다고 알려진 개인내적 변인인 아동의 개방적 성격과 대표적인 양육변인인 어머니의 양육태도가 창의성에 미치는 영향을 탐구하고, 이 변인들이 창의성을 매개하여 아동의 안녕감에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 248명의 초등학교 저학년 아동을 대상으로 분석 결과, 아동의 경험에 대한 개방성은 창의성을 부분 매개하여 주관적 안녕감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 하지만 어머니의 긍정적 양육태도는 창의성을 매개하지 않고 직접 안녕감에 영향을 주었다. 본 연구는 개방성 성격이 적응에 미치는 영향을 창의성을 통해 이해할 수 있다는 점을 시사하였으며, 창의성을 증진시키는 특별한 양육방식은 존재하지 않는다는 일부 선행연구의 결과를 지지하는 것으로 해석되었다.
