摘要:This study aimed to evaluate the role of shyness in anticipating creativity among talented adolescents. Using randomized clustered sampling technique, we studied 237 female gifted high school students with “Stanford Shyness Scale” and “Abedi Creativity Test” and developed a regression model. Shyness and creativity were negatively correlated; the Beta of shyness was -0.53 in predicting creativity (p-value < 0.001); the model was significantly predicting 29% of the variability of creativity by levels of shyness. It could be justified by the positive relationship between anxiety, perfectionism, lack of self-confidence, and negative self-conception with shyness and negative relationship with creativity at the same time.
