“…Age has also been identified as a key factor in the development of creativity among children (Yeh and Li, 2008 ). As parents and siblings have various influences on children's creativity (Gulliksen, 2018 ; Pang et al, 2020 ), parents' educational level, parents' age, and the number of children in the family were also controlled.…”

This study points out that families' support of perseverance in creative efforts will increase children's originality of creative drawing through children's persistence in information searching. Data analysis based on 134 Chinese young children's creative drawings and survey supports the above hypothesis. Moreover, children's exposure to COVID-19 pandemic positively moderates the relationship between supporting perseverance and children's search persistence, such that high exposure to COVID-19 pandemic will increase the positive relationship between support of perseverance and search persistence. And children's prosocial motivation inhibits the influence of search persistence on originality. Contributions to the theory of children's creativity are discussed.

“…Environmental factors have a crucial role in creative development (Lebuda & Glăveanu, 2019;Lebuda et al, in press). From early works (e.g., Goertzel et al, 1978;Harrington et al, 1987;Michel & Dudek, 1991;Miller & Gerard, 1979;Rogers, 1954;Wright & Wright, 1986) to more recent research (e.g., Gralewski & Jankowska, 2020;Gute et al, 2008;Jankowska & Karwowski, 2019;Karwowski et al, 2020;Pang et al, 2020;Si et al, 2018) parents' influences on children's creativity are considered obvious. However, little is still known about parents' specific psychological characteristics and behaviors that might be key to creating a family environment that supports development of abilities, beliefs, and attitudes conducive to children's creativity.…”

Family rules, routines, and resources shape children’s creativity. However, little is known about how parents’ creative self-beliefs and creative activity are related to the lifestyle adults create in their families. Family lifestyle might be operationalized as referring to domain-general dimensions of family functioning (cohesion, flexibility, communication, and family satisfaction) and domain-specific factors related to creativity (encouragement to experience novelty and varieties; encouragement to nonconformism; support of perseverance in creative efforts; encouragement to fantasize). To explore the link between parents’ creativity-related characteristic and family lifestyle, 303 Polish parents (57% mothers) of children aged between 6 and 10 (M = 7.99; SD = 1.38) reported on their creative self-beliefs, creative activity, overall family characteristics, and climate for creativity in their families. We found that both parents’ creative self-beliefs (creative self-efficacy and creative personal identity) and their creative activity predict support for creativity in the family and more general balanced and satisfying family relationships. We discuss these findings, point new paths for future research, and suggest interventions in regards to the family creativity-fostering environment.

“…The family as a basic social institution plays a crucial role in child's development, including creativity (e.g. Jankowska & Karwowski, 2019;Koestner et al, 1999;Miller & Gerard, 1979;Pang et al, 2020). Many studies were conducted on the impact of family relations on creativity (e.g.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between dimensions of a constructive parenting style, (i.e. parental acceptance and autonomy granting) factors of the climate for creativity in parent–child relationships (encouragement to experience novelty and variety, encouragement of nonconformism, support of perseverance in creative efforts, and encouragement to fantasize), and parents’ visual mental imagery. 313 parents of children between 6 and 12 years of age participated in the study. The results indicated that (a) a constructive parenting style was positively related to three of four factors of the climate for creativity in the parent–child relationships, i.e. encouragement to experience novelty and variety, support of perseverance in creative efforts, and encouragement to fantasize in the parent–child relationship; (b) parents’ level of vividness of mental imagery was positively related with both parental acceptance of child and autonomy support as well as components of climate for creativity in parent–child relationship; (c) mothers scored significantly higher than fathers in exhibiting acceptance of a child; (d) parents’ gender played an important role in the relations between dimensions of constructive parenting style and factors of climate for creativity in parent–child relationships. Findings were discussed in terms of the implications for further research and theory development in the area of family influences on the development of children’s creativity.
