Abstract: Based on testing and questionnaire method, the present study conducted among 658 primary school students to investigate the impact of teacher-student relationships on children's creative thinking and to explore the mediating effect of creative self-efficacy as well as the moderating effect of openness to experience. The results showed that:(1) Teacher-student relationships significantly positively predicted children's creative thinking as well as creative self-efficacy; (2) Creative self-efficacy played a completely mediating role between teacher-student relationships and primary school students' creative thinking; (3) The mediation of creative self-efficacy was moderated by openness to experience. In terms of high openness to experience, creative self-efficacy played a mediating role. But for individuals with low openness to experience, the mediating effect of creative self-efficacy was not significant. These findings contribute to our understanding of a comprehensive interpretation of both environmental and individual factors' impact on creativity.

Key words: teacher-student relationships, creative thinking, creative self-efficacy, openness to experience, primary school students
