Abstract
ABSTRACT The creativity of adolescents is the basis for our country to cultivate innovative talents. We aimed to examine the association between mindfulness and adolescents’ creativity and inner mechanisms and the mediating role of mind-wandering in these associations. Moreover, the moderating role of conscientiousness and agreeableness was examined. Questionnaire-based data were collected from 916 adolescents in the form of decentralized or centralized testing, and SPSS software was used for empirical analysis. We found that mindfulness was positively associated with creativity, and mind-wandering mediated the relationship between mindfulness and creativity. In addition, conscientiousness and agreeableness moderated the relationship between mindfulness and mind-wandering. The results indicated that mindfulness is well suited for the development of adolescents’ creativity. In addition, this study suggests that a high level of mindfulness can inhibit mind-wandering and promote creativity, especially in high conscientiousness and agreeableness, which has important implications for promoting the development of creativity among adolescents.
