Sarikaya, Ismail
The relationship between creativity and writing success is a matter of curiosity for many researchers, educators, and people in general. Many would likely expect that creative individuals would have higher writing success. This study aimed to determine the mediating roles of writing self-efficacy, writing motivation, and writing disposition in the relationship between creativity and writing success of primary school students. A relational research model was used in the study conducted with 300 primary school students. Correlational analysis and mediating variable analysis were performed with the data obtained with five data collection tools. The analysis results showed significant relationships between the variables: Creativity, writing self-efficacy, writing motivation, and writing disposition were found to significantly predict writing success. In addition, the findings revealed that writing self-efficacy, motivation, and disposition each have a parallel mediating role between creativity and writing success. The study's results are discussed in connection to the pertinent research literature, and recommendations are made.

In order to reveal the reliability of the scale, internal consistency, two-half test analyses, and composite reliability (CR) were used, and it was determined that the values found were .74 and above. In order to reveal the accuracy of the obtained structure, data were collected from 218 middle school students in a different province, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed with these data. As a result of the analysis, the two-factor structure of the scale was confirmed. When the findings are examined, it can be said that the scale is a reliable and valid tool that can be applied to determine the self-regulation skills of students studying at the middle school level.
