본 연구의 목적은 아동의 창의적 산출물, 창의적 사고능력, 창의적 인성과 인지, 정의, 환경적 변인들 간의 관계모형을 검증함으로써, 교육현장에서 창의성 계발에 영향을 미치는 중요한 변인들을 규명하려는데 있다. 이 러한 연구목적을 위하여 338명의 아동을 대상으로 지능, 학업성취, 성취목표동기, 가정환경, 교실환경 검사와 창 의적 사고력검사, 창의적 인성검사, 창의적 산출물 평가를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 상관분석과 구조모형 검증 을 실시하였다. 상관분석결과, 창의적 사고력, 창의적 인성, 창의적 산출물 간의 상관은 낮은 편이었으며, 다중지 능, 학업성취, 성취목표동기, 가정환경, 교실환경은 창의적 사고능력, 창의적 인성, 창의적 산출물과 정적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 변인들 간의 관계모형검증 결과, 인지, 정의, 환경적 변인들은 창의적 산출물이 나오는데 긍정적 영향을 미치며, 특히 창의적 사고력과 창의적 인성을 매개로 간접적인 영향을 주는 것으로 밝혀졌다
