Objective To explore the relationship between schizotypal personality traits and creativity in college students and the mediating role of cognitive flexibility.Methods Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ), Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI) and Williams Creative Aptitude Test (WCAT) were used to assess 471 college students. Thereafter, Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship among the variables and the Bootstrap methodology was used to estimate the mediating role of cognitive flexibility.Results The total SPQ, positive and disorganized schizotypal traits scores, and CFI score were all positively correlated with WCAT score (r=0.241~0.313, P<0.01). The total SPQ, positive and disorganized schizotypal traits scores were also positively correlated with CFI score (r=0.111~0.128, P<0.05). Cognitive flexibility mediated the relationship between positive schizotypal traits and creativity [indirect effect=0.052 (95% CI: 0.016~0.112, P<0.01), accounting for 11.93% of the total effect]. Cognitive flexibility mediated the relationship between disorganized schizotypal traits and creativity [indirect effect=0.075 (95% CI: 0.020~0.161, P<0.01), accounting for 11.50% of the total effect].Conclusion Schizotypal personality has a direct impact on the creativity of medical students and also cause an indirect impact on their creativity through the mediating role of cognitive flexibility. |
