Relationship between Parents' Cultural Values and Children's Creativity.

Relationships between parents' cultural values and their children's creativity were examined. A total of 333 Korean students (163 boys and 170 girls) with their parents (101 fathers and 232 mothers) participated in this study. Parents' cultural values were measured by the EWPS-B, and children's creativity was measured by the TTCT and the RIBS. The results showed that parents' overemphasis on Asian cultural values, especially social conformity and unquestioned authority, negatively related to their children's creativity. The results also showed that fathers' overemphasis on cultural values predicted children's creativity differently from, and more negatively than, mothers' overemphasis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
