ABSTRACT

This study aims to study the effect of the income and residential district on the children's creative personality, product and family environment. 310 elementary school students who live in the urban(151) and rural (159) areas participated in this study. They took tests of creative environment, personality and product. Also their parent responded to the questionnaire on socio-economic environment. We analysed the data through Pearson correlation, one way ANOVA, t-test, and Barron & Kenny's mediation model by using SPSS 14.0 and verified the adequacy of mediation model by using Amos 5.0. The results are as follows. First, there are significant correlations between creative personality, creative product and creative environment. Second, the higher children's scores on creative personality, product and family environment are, the higher the family income is. Third, the scores of children living in the urban area on creative personality, product and family environment are higher than those living in the rural area. Finally income and residential district separately influence creative personality through creative family environment. This result suggests that efforts to form creative family environment can overcome negative effects on creativity development due to income level or residential district.
