    El objetivo de esta investigación fue probar un modelo teórico explicativo de las relaciones que puedan darse entre determinadas variables psicológicas y la creatividad. Concretamente, se examinaron las relaciones existentes entre inteligencia, personalidad, motivación intrínseca, autoefica-cia creativa y creatividad ideacional. El estudio se llevó a cabo con una muestra formada por 180 universitarios (136 mujeres y 44 hombres), los cuales fueron evaluados en las variables objeto de estudio en dos sesiones fuera del horario académico regular. Los resultados obtenidos, analizados por medio de la técnica de ecuaciones estructurales, confirmaron el modelo y mostraron que tanto las variables independientes (inteligencia y personali-dad) como las intermediarias (motivación intrínseca y autoeficacia creativa) que configuran el modelo propuesto influyeron en el fenómeno de la crea-tividad, siendo la autoeficacia creativa la variable personal que más intervino significativamente en la creatividad ideacional

    This research tested a theoretical model of the relationships be-tween certain psychological variables and creativity. Specifically, the rela-tionships among intelligence, personality, intrinsic motivation, creative self-efficacy, and ideational creativity were examined. This study was conducted with a sample of 180 college students (136 women and 44 men) who were evaluated with regard to the variables above in two sessions outside the regular academic schedule. The results obtained via structural equation analysis supported the model and revealed that the independent variables (intelligence and personality) and the intermediate variables (intrinsic moti-vation and creative self-efficacy) that comprise the proposed model influ-enced creativity. Furthermore, creative self-efficacy was the most signifi-cant trait associated with ideational creativity
