Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育心理與輔導學系 === 101 === The purpose of present study is to compare the differences of personality, and cognition and tendency of creativity between the students of immigrant and native families, and to discuss the mediator effect of the personality traits Openness and Conscientiousness as well. The questionnaires are used as research tools and are applied to 1076 elementary and junior high school students, including 431 immigrant families students and 645 native families students. The questionnaires are including “Big-five mini-markers, traditional Chinese edition”, “The New Tests of Creative Thinking, figure task(Wu et al., 1999) ”, and “Creativity Assessment Packet”. Results are as following: 1. Comparison from the cognition aspect of creativity, the T-score of students from immigrant families is apparently higher than the students from native families in Fluency, Flexibility, Originality and the overall performance of creativity, while the difference isn’t significant between groups in Elaboration; Comparison from the tendency aspect of creativity, the performance of the students from immigrant families is also better than the students from native families in Risk Taking, Curiosity,Imagination, Complexity and overall creativity. 2. The T-score of Openness in immigrant families students is obviously higher than in native families students, while the difference of Conscientiousness between two groups is not significant. 3. In the cognition aspect of creativity, Openness is partially interpretative to the relationship of groups and Fluency while it is wholly interpretative to the relationship of groups and Flexibility, Originality and overall creativity. It is shown that the Fluency is affected together by the groups and Openness, and Flexibility,Originality and the overall creativity are influenced by Openness. In the tendency aspect of creativity, Openness is partial interpretative to the relationship of groups,and Risk taking, Imagination, and overall creativity while it is fully interpretative to the relationship of groups and Curiosity, Complexity. It means that Risk taking,Imagination, and overall performance of creativity are affected together by the groups and Openness; Curiosity and Complexity are influenced by the Openness.Present research provides meaningful and valuable results and suggests to the future study of new immigrant family education.
