Abstract

The objective of this study was to search the effect of individual personality (big five personality) on creative behavior. In particular, we tried to find out how the individual characteristics of the students who are perceived as unique majors in university and students who are in non-art, music and physical education affect the creative behavior. To perform this, questionnaires were distributed to 150 university students in art, music and physical education and 150 non-art, music, and physical education university students in C University located in Gwangju Metropolitan City. 275 copies (91.7%) of valid questionnaires were used among them. As a result, extroversion, openness, Friendliness, and sincerity were found to affect creative behaviors, excluding neuroticism (emotional stability) among five factors of personality. Additional analysis was performed by departmentalizing the majors of respondents as art, music and physical education and non-art, music, and physical education. In the case of art, music and physical education, extroversion, openness, friendliness affected the creative behavior, and in the case of non-art, music and physical education, only extroversion and openness influenced creative behavior. This difference can be understood as the difference of habits according to major, and it has been proved that it is also similar to previous research results.

본 연구는 개인의 성격(성격 5요인)이 창의적 행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 진행되었다. 특히 대학에서 특수 전공으로 인식되는 예체능 계열 대학생들과 비예체능계열 대학생들 간의 개인 특성이 창의적 행동에 어떤 영향을 주는지 알아보고자 했다. 이를 위해 광주광역시에 소재하고 있는 C대학생들을 대상으로 예체능계열 150명, 비예체능계열 150명에게 설문지를 배포하여 조사했으며, 이중 유효 설문지 275부(91.7%)를 활용하였다. 연구결과 성격 5요인 중 신경성(정서안정성)을 제외한 외향성, 개방성, 친화성, 성실성이 창의적 행동에 영향을 주는 것으로 파악되었다. 응답자의 전공을 예체능 계열과 비예체능 계열로 세분화하여 추가분석을 진행한 결과, 예체능 계열의 경우는 외향성, 개방성, 친화성이 창의적 행동에 영향을 주었고, 비예체능 계열의 경우는 외향성과 개방성만 창의적 행동에 영향을 주는 것으로 파악되었다. 이러한 차이는 전공에 따른 습관의 차이로 이해할 수 있을 것이며, 기존의 선행연구 결과와도 유사한 것으로 조사되었다.
