Abstract
In a study, 112 adults participated aiming to find out the relationships between creativity self-efficacy, emotions, and cultural orientation behavior. The participants’ age ranged between 18 and 68 years old. They comprised 75 (67%) females and 37(33 %) males. Sixty-three (56.3%) were professionals, 29 (25.9%) of them were non-professionals, 20 (17.8%) of them were students, retirees, or homemakers. Near half of them were singles, 56 (50%) of them married and three (2.7%) of them were divorcees. Measures of the study included the creativity self-efficacy scale, the positive affect and negative affect scale, satisfaction with life scale, subjective happiness scale, and cultural orientation scale. Horizontal cultural orientations and positivity (mood, and happiness) correlated positively and significantly with creativity self-efficacy (for divergent, convergent, and persistent processes). Vertical individualism correlated positively with creativity self-efficacy for convergent and divergent processes, vertical collectivism correlated positively with creativity self-efficacy for persistence. Strengths, limitations and implications of the study were presented.
