The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between personality traits and parenting styles with the creativity of male and female students. The research method is a descriptive correlational type. The statistical population includes all male and female students in the second year of secondary school (first, second and third grades of secondary school) in District 15 of Tehran (500 parents and students) who are studying in schools in District 15 of Tehran in the academic year 1402-1403. Using the Morgan table and the available sampling method, 80 female students in secondary schools, a sample size of 49% (39 people) and male students in secondary schools, a sample size of 51% (41 people), were selected as the sample for the work. In the present study, the parenting style questionnaires (Robinson et al.; 2001), the NEO personality traits questionnaire, and the Torrens creativity questionnaire (1979) were used. The results showed that personality traits, especially openness to experience, have a positive and significant relationship with creativity, and authoritative parenting was also identified as an effective model in increasing creativity. Also, significant differences in the impact of these factors were observed between girls and boys. The findings can help parents and teachers create more creative environments for students. Finally, this study provides suggestions for future research to further investigate the impact of these factors on creativity.
