Relationship of Dynamic Mindset, Creative Effectiveness and Creative Personal identity with Creative Writing, Invention and Scientific Discovery in Male and Female High School Students

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the relationship of dynamic mindset, creative effectiveness, and creative self-identity with creative writing, innovation, and scientific discovery among male and female high school students in Yazd city. Methods: This investigation is a fundamental descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population for this study consisted of all male and female high school students in Yazd city in 2023, with 200 individuals chosen for assessing the research instrument's validity and reliability, and 340 participants selected as samples through a multi-stage random sampling approach. The research utilized questionnaires on creative achievement, dynamic mindset questionnaire, and creative effectiveness questionnaire as its measuring instruments. The data were analyzed using the Canonical correlation analysis method. Results: The results revealed that Wilks's lambda value was significant ( F=24.544, λ=0.455, P<0.001), indicating a canonical correlation between the two variable sets with a 99% probability. The effect size of the two focal functions in this analysis was 0.545, signifying the shared variance between the two variable categories that the present study can account for. The study findings suggest a substantial fundamental correlation (53%) between dynamic mindset, creative effectiveness, and self-identity with creative writing, innovation, and scientific discovery. Conclusions: These findings can inform the development and implementation of interventions aimed at enhancing students' creativity
