The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of mother's parenting behavior, perfectionism and creative personality on children's creativity. For analyses of research question, Cronbach's α, t test, F test, pearson's correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used with SPSS 12.0.

Mothers with higher educational level showed higher affecinate parenting, active participation in parenting, and creative personality than mothers with lower educational level.
Older mothers showed more logical guidance and affecinate parenting than younger mothers. Children with highly-educated mothers had higher level of uniqueness, concentration, independence-patience than children with low-educated mothers.

It was also found that mother's parenting behavior and perfectionism influence children's playfulness, and mother's perfectionism and creative personality influence children's independence-patience.
