Effect of Creativity on Emotional Intelligence, Self-Esteem and Resilience in Visual Arts and Engineering Students

Abstract

This research looks into the complex interactions between creativity, emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-esteem, focusing on two distinct student groups: arts and engineering. Understanding the impact of creativity on these vital attributes becomes increasingly important as social needs grow, embracing both technological knowledge and emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-esteem. The study investigates the link between creativity and emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-esteem, offering light on how academic fields influence these vital characteristics. Purposive sampling was used in the research to sample 106 people from different colleges in North India. Self-report questionnaires such as the Emotional Quotient Test, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Nicholson McBride Resilience Questionnaire, and KDOCS 20 for creativity were used in the data collection process. With Jamovi, statistical studies such as regression, correlation, and t-tests were carried out. According to the findings, self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and resilience significantly correlate with creativity. Notably, students studying engineering and the arts showed different approaches to the scientific aspect of creativity. The scientific dimension was a significant predictor by regression analysis, indicating that it had a distinct impact on both student groups. Prioritizing ethical issues included obtaining participants' informed consent, managing data securely, and respecting participant autonomy.
