Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived degree of creativity and self-confidence. It was hypothesized that: (1) there is a significant, positive relationship between creativity and self-confidence; (2) variations in perceived degree of creativity will be accompanied by variations in self-confidence; (3) perceived degree of creativity is a more important determinant of self-confidence for subjects majoring in the performing arts (Group A) than for subjects majoring in some non-arts area (Group NA); and (4) both creativity and self-confidence are labile constructs which can be changed by feedback. Creativity was operationally defined as that ability measured by the Barron-Welsh Art Scale. Self-confidence was operationally defined as the personality traits measured by the Self-confidence scale of the Gough Adjective Check List (GACL).
