Abstract:
(1) Background: Creative self-efficacy is associated with better psychological well-being and academic performance in adolescent and youth samples. Positive youth development is a strength-based model of youth transition to adulthood, which states that this emerges from adaptive regulations between personal strengths and nurturing contexts. The present study aimed to examine the associations between creative self-efficacy, PYD and perceived academic performance in a sample of Spanish youth. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out during the spring of 2024. A sample composed of 370 undergraduates (M = 21.29, SD = 3.61) from 10 universities in Andalusia (Spain) filled in an online self-report measure. (3) Results: The results showed positive associations between creative self-efficacy, PYD and academic performance. A mediational analysis indicated that creative self-efficacy presented a positive effect on perceived academic performance through its positive associations with both Confidence and Competence dimensions of PYD. (4) Conclusions: These results may suggest the need to integrate creativity and PYD programs to strengthen academic performance in higher education.
