This study proposed and examined the underlying mechanisms of how creative self-concept is associated with positive affect through the mediating role of people's daily creative behavior and creative self-assessment. We recruited 101 Chinese undergraduate students to report their creative behavior, creative self-assessment, and experiences of positive emotion states each day for 14 days. A multilevel structural equation model was conducted. Results confirmed the mediating role of creative self-assessment and the chain-mediating role of creative behavior and creative self-assessment between creative self-concept and positive affect. The direct effect of creative behavior on positive affect was not verified. These findings highlight the role that creative self-concept plays in everyday activities and everyday well-being and show the importance of creative self-assessment in creativity education and mental health care. creative self Concept|} creative behavior| creative self assessment| positive affect Zhang, Zhitian Skylor | Zhang, Yanna https://doi.org/10.1002/jocb.545 PER 0 0 0 0 RIEBPL RIEBPL 2023-11-08 0 2023-11-08 00:00:00 2023-11-08 PER 44801 44800
