CREATIVE PERSONALITY AND DEPRESSION

The relationship of creative personality and depression has been long established in our perception and the causal effect of these two psychological traits has been discussed in many case studies for decades. This research investigated creative personality and depression levels among two groups: the ‘future artist group', predicted to have a positive relationship between creative personality and depression, and the ‘future scientist group', who were predicted to have a negative relationship of the two factors. The quantitative research result addressed the assumptions, however, it was interesting enough to inspire further study to learn more about different aspects of these two psychological assets in other groups.
