Abstract

The aims of this study were to investigate how personality and playfulness related to creativity and toexamine the effects of big 5 personality traits and playfulness on creativity on the part of pre-servicekindergarten teachers. The participants comprised 252 pre-service kindergarten teachers enrolled inDepartment of Early Childhood Education or Child Studies from around the greater metropolitan areas ofSeoul and Pusan, Korea. The data thus collected were analyzed by means of Pearson's correlation, andmultiple regression analysis, using PSAW 18.0. The results revealed that big 5 personality traits weresignificantly related to playfulness and creativity. Additionally, playfulness was related positively tocreativity. Multiple regression analysis indicated that up to 49.1% of variance of creativity could beaccounted for by the big 5 personality traits (Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, andAgreeableness) and playfulness. This study suggested that these big 5 personality models and playfulnesscould account for much of the variance in creativity and could therefore be used for pre-servicekindergarten teachers training and development
