ABSTRACT: Taking into account previous research on the role that the
parenting styles to which individuals are exposed during childhood have in
shaping pro-social behaviors, attitudes and personality and so on, this study
aims to investigate the relationship between parenting styles of parents and
creativity. Design/Methodology/Approach: The creativity and the parenting style questionnaires
were completed by 239 undergraduate student participants. Pearson correlation
coefficients were extracted and regression analysis was performed. Findings: The results indicate that
undergraduate students with democratic parents tend to show stronger creative
thinking and open the way to further study what parental characteristics may be
responsible for the development of creativity in undergraduate students. Research Limitations/Implications: Participants
retrospectively assessed their parents’ style. Future research may recruit both
the actual parents of participants to collect more accurate data on parenting
practices or use observational methods. Social
Implications: This work seems to suggest that to achieve a more creative
society, the ability of parents to raise their children by adopting a democratic
style should be taken into account and—if needed—enhanced. Originality/Value: To
the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the
relationship between parenting styles of parents and creativity.
