ABSTRACT

This study examined the mediating effect of self-consciousness on the relationship between multicultural acceptance and creativity on high school students; and gender differences. Structural relationships among multicultural acceptance, self-consciousness, and creativity were revealed using 6,145 first-year high school students’ (3,037 male, 3,108 female) responses from the 6th year data on the first-year high school students from Korean Education Longitudinal Study(KELS) 2013. Multi-group analysis analyzed gender differences. Results showed multicultural acceptance directly affects creativity, and the mediating effect of self-consciousness between multicultural acceptance and creativity was significant. Meaning that multicultural acceptance not only has a direct effect on creativity but also an indirect effect on self-consciousness. As a result of multi-group analysis to analyze differences according to gender, it was not possible to analyze gender differences because measurement invariance was not satisfied, and male and female pathways were analyzed. As a result, all pathways were significant for both males and females. Based on the results of this study, discussions, and suggestions were made on the mediating effect of self-consciousness on the relationship between multicultural acceptance and creativity on high school students.
