Abstract

The present study investigated the association between classroom climate and creativity and the indirect effect of autonomous motivation. Senior high school students (N = 472) completed questionnaires measuring classroom climate and autonomous motivation and two tasks in the Torrance tests of creative thinking. Correlation analysis showed that dimensions of class climate were positively correlated with creativity, and autonomous motivation was also positively correlated with creativity. Structural equation modeling revealed that both the teacher-support and task-orientation dimensions of classroom climate showed indirect positive predictions for creativity through autonomous motivation. Our findings improve the understanding of the association between classroom climate and creativity and its indirect mechanism. Further, these results can inspire methods to cultivate creativity in school settings.

课堂气氛与创造力:自主动机的间接影响

本研究探讨了课堂气氛与创造力的关系以及自主动机的间接影响。高中生(N = 472)完成了课堂气氛和自主动机测量问卷以及创造性思维托伦斯测验中的两个任务。相关分析表明，班级氛围各维度与创造力呈正相关，自主动机也与创造力呈正相关。结构方程模型显示，课堂气氛的教师支持和任务导向两个维度都通过自主动机对创造力有间接的正向预测。我们的研究结果提高了对课堂气氛与创造力之间关系及其间接机制的理解。此外，这些结果可以启发在学校环境中培养创造力的方法。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
