Abstract

The gene-environment interaction effect in creativity has been one of the most important discoveries in the past few years, but the psychological mechanisms underlying this effect remain elusive. Using a sample size of 1313 undergraduate students, the current study created a moderated chain mediation model to analyze the mediating effect of openness to experience and creative self-efficacy as well as the moderating effects of multiple genes between parenting behavior and creativity. The results found the significantly chain mediating effect of openness to experience and creative self-efficacy on the relationship between parental autonomy support and creativity; however, similar chain mediating role was only demonstrated between parental psychological control and creativity for individuals who were both COMT rs4680 GG and HTR2A rs6313 TT carriers. These findings provide parents and educators with suggestions of psychological pathway to cultivate creativity for individuals with different genetic predispositions.
