This study used a two-wave, longitudinal design to examine the relationships between parenting behaviors (parental autonomy support, parental behavioral control, and parental psychological control) and Chinese adolescents' creativity, and the mechanism underlying the relationships. A total of 258 Chinese adolescents (mean age = 13.35, 48% girls) participated in the present study. The study measured the parenting behaviors received by the participants, their autonomous motivation, and creativity using the Parenting Scale, the Self-Regulatory Style Questionnaire-Academic, and the verbal and figural Divergent Thinking Tests, respectively. Structural equation models revealed that parental autonomy support and parental behavioral control had positive effects on Chinese adolescents' creativity one year later, whereas the relationship between parental psychological control and creativity one year later was not significant. In addition, parental autonomy support and parental behavioral control contributed to adolescents' creativity through the mediating effect of autonomous motivation. Findings from the present study help clarify developmental pathways linking parenting behaviors to adolescents' creativity in Chinese culture.
本研究采用两波、纵向设计，考察了父母教养行为（父母自主性支持、父母行为控制和父母心理控制）与中国青少年创造力之间的关系，以及这些关系的作用机制。共有 258 名中国青少年（平均年龄=13.35，48%为女生）参与了本研究。研究使用父母教养量表、自主调节风格问卷-学术版和言语和图形发散思维测验分别测量了参与者所接受的父母教养行为、自主动机和创造力。结构方程模型显示，父母自主性支持和父母行为控制对中国青少年一年后的创造力有积极影响，而父母心理控制与一年后创造力的关系不显著。此外，父母自主性支持和父母行为控制通过自主动机的中介作用对青少年的创造力产生影响。本研究的结果有助于厘清在中国文化背景下，父母教养行为与青少年创造力发展之间的关系路径。
