Previous studies have confirmed that family factors and personality could influence the emotional creativity, however, few studies explore the composite effect of parenting styles and personality on emotional creativity. Previous studies have revealed the close relationship between emotional creativity and coping styles, however, the mechanism behind the relationship is still open. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the combined effect of parenting styles and personality on emotional creativity (study 1), as well as the mediating role of achievement motivation between emotional creativity and coping style (study 2). In study 1, a composite questionnaire, which included Emotional Creativity Inventory, Perceptions of Parents Scales, and NEO Personality Inventory, was administrated for 150 high school students to investigate whether parenting style and personality can effectively predict emotional creativity. Correlation analysis results showed that extroversion, openness, conscientiousness were positively correlated with emotional creativity, mother involvement were positively correlated with emotional creativity. Regression analysis results showed that openness is a positive predictive index of preparedness, mother involvement and father autonomy support are negative predictive indexes of preparedness; openness and neuroticism are positive predictive indexes of novelty, mother involvement is a negative predictive index of novelty; openness, extroversion, conscientiousness are positive predictive indexes of effectiveness. In general, big-five personality traits are beneficial to emotional creativity. In study 2, a composite questionnaire, which included Emotional Creativity Inventory, Achievement Motivation Scale, Coping Styles Questionnaire was administrated for 152 high school students to investigate the relationship of emotional creativity, achievement motivation and coping styles. Correlation analysis results showed preparedness was positively correlated with success-approaching motivation, problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping; novelty and effectiveness were positively correlated with success-approaching motivation and problem-focused coping; success-approaching motivation was positively correlated with problem-focused coping, failure-avoidance motivation was positively correlated with emotion-focused coping. And then Structural Equation Modeling showed achievement motivations play mediator roles between emotional creativity and coping style, to be detailed, the preparedness of emotional creativity would induce emotion-focused coping through the mediating effect of failure-avoidance motivation, the effectiveness of emotional creativity would induce problem-focused coping through the mediating effect of success-approaching motivation. In general, both parenting style (mother involvement and father autonomy support) and personality variables (extroversion, openness, neuroticism and conscientiousness) can effectively predict emotional creativity; achievement motivations play mediator roles between emotional creativity and coping style. The research contributed to the field of emotional creativity by revealing the personality and parental predictors of emotional creativity, as well as how emotional creativity influences coping styles. Otherwise, the findings also show significance for the psychology education among middle school students.
