چکیده مقاله
This study examined the mediating role of self esteem in the relationship between Big Five personality traits and creative thinking, with gender as a moderator in the Iranian cultural context Participants were 378 undergraduate students 189 women, 189 men from Islamic Azad University, Tehran Central Branch, selected through multi stage cluster sampling They completed the NEO FFI, Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, and Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking Structural equation modeling was employed for data analysis The proposed model demonstrated good fit, explaining 48% of the variance in creative thinking Openness to experience was the strongest positive predictor β = 0 29, p < 001 , while neuroticism negatively predicted creativity β = 0 21, p < 001 Self esteem partially mediated the personality creativity relationship indirect effect = 0 20, p < 001 , accounting for approximately one third of the total effect Gender significantly moderated all structural paths The pathways involving self esteem personality → self esteem and self esteem → creativity were significantly stronger for women, whereas the direct path from personality to creativity was stronger for men These findings suggest that self esteem serves as a critical mechanism linking personality to creativity, particularly for women in cultural contexts with traditional gender norms The study contributes to understanding creativity as a culturally embedded phenomenon and highlights the need for gender sensitive interventions targeting self esteem enhancement to foster creative potential in female university students
