This research provides an initial opportunity to simultaneously examine the relative contributions of psychological well-being, affective disposition, and affective mood as correlates of creativity. Bivariate correlational analysis demonstrated that psychological well-being and positive mood state, but not positive affective disposition, were related to creativity. Using multiple regression analysis, it was found that psychological well-being was positively related to creativity, even when controlling for positive mood state and positive affective disposition. Implications and limitations of these findings are discussed.
