Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of preschool children's play behavior, temperament, and parenting styles on preschool children's creativity in response to the diverse changes in industries and the growing demand for creative talents. The research sample consists of 210 parents of children enrolled in five kindergartens in U City. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis in SPSS. The results revealed significant positive correlations between preschool children's creativity and social play, sociability temperament, and activity level temperament. Moreover, a positive correlation was found between preschool children's creativity and warmth parenting style, while a negative correlation was observed with control parenting style. No significant correlations were identified between preschool children's creativity and nonsocial play, solitary play, and emotionality temperament. Factors such as social play, activity level temperament, sociability temperament, and warmth parenting style were found to explain the sub-factors of preschool children's creativity, namely independence, openness, and motivation. In conclusion, to enhance preschool children's creativity, it was found that children's social play had the greatest influence, followed by warmth parenting style and activity level temperament.
