Abstract: IMPLICIT THEORIES AND CREATIVITY 2 Abstract Based on the implicit theories (entity theory versus incremental theory) developed by Dweck (1988), this research proposed that individuals' belief in the nature of creativity (malleable versus fixed) was related to their self-confidence, self-efficacy, interest as well as performance in creative tasks. Seventy-two fifth graders were primed with either entity or incremental theory of creativity on a random basis. Unsatisfactory feedback on their creativity was given to both groups of students after the priming. The students in the incremental group were found to have higher self-efficacy and interest in creative tasks than the entity group after the feedback. They were also more willing to take up challenging task after setback.
