Trait creativity, personality, and physical activity: a structural equation model

Background: Previous studies have shown that personality affects creativity, and physical activity and is associated with cognitive function. However, the relationship among physical activity, creativity, and personality remains unclear. This study sought to examine the relationship among personality, physical activity, and creativity to identify relevant risk factors of trait creativity. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to assess the effect of personality (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness) on physical activity, the effect of physical activity on creativity traits.
