Abstract: = 20.9 years) completed the study. Dispositional mindfulness, PsyCap, and creativity motivation were measured via the Chinese versions of the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, the revised Compound PsyCap Scale, and the Creativity Motivation Scale, respectively. Regarding creativity, a multidimensional assessment approach was used to evaluate creative performance across three dimensions-idea production, creative combination, and restructuring problem solving-by using three creativity tests: (1) a divergent thinking test, (2) a gestalt combination test, and (3) a creative problem-solving test. Mediation analyses revealed that PsyCap and creativity motivation partially but significantly mediated the effect of dispositional mindfulness on all three dimensions of creativity as sequential mediators, while the residual direct effect suggested the possibility of additional unexamined pathways. These findings shed light on the psychological mechanism of positive human functioning in relation to positive personal attributes, psychological resources, and creative functioning.
