Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating effect of grit in the relationship between parenting attitudes and adolescents' creative personality. For this purpose, this study analyzed 2,384 survey data in the third year of KCYPS 2018 from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey through SPSS 21.0. The results are as follows. First, there was a significant positive correlation between positive parenting attitudes, grit, and creative personality among parental parenting attitudes, while negative parenting attitudes were significantly negatively correlated with grit and creative personality. Second, a hierarchical regression analysis of the impact of parenting attitudes and grit on creative personality showed that positive parenting attitudes had a positive effect on creative personality, while negative parenting attitudes did not affect creative personality. On the other hand, grit was found to have a positive effect on creative personality. Third, based on the correlation between variables, grit's mediating effect on the relationship between parental parenting attitude and creative personality played a partial mediating role in the relationship between parents' positive parenting attitude and creative personality and parents' negative parenting attitude and creative personality. Through these results, positive parenting attitudes directly affect adolescents' creative personality, but through grit, creative personality increases. On the other hand, negative parenting attitudes not only directly lower the creative personality of adolescents, but also lower grit, resulting in a decline in creative personality. Based on the results of this study, it is meaningful that both the increase in positive parenting attitude and the decrease in negative parenting attitude of parents are significantly important to enhance the creative personality and grit of adolescents, and at the same time, reveal the importance of parenting.
