Creativity, often considered a key human resource, has been linked to various aspects of psychological well-being. This research aimed to examine how creativity relate to life satisfaction among Indian high school students. Given the intense academic demands and socio-cultural pressures faced by this group, understanding this link may offer important insights for promoting psychological well-being in their context. A total of 475 Indian students (323 males, 152 females) aged 15–19 participated in this correlational study. Participants completed the Short Scale of Creative Self (Karwowski, 2011), which measures creative self-efficacy and creative personal identity, along with Satisfaction With Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985). Pearson correlation analyses were conducted to examine relationships between variables, with separate analyses performed for the total sample and by gender. Significant positive correlations emerged between all creativity variables and life satisfaction. In the total sample, creative self-efficacy (r = .18, p < .01), creative personality identity (r = .20, p < .01), and overall creativity (r = .22, p < .01) were significantly correlated with life satisfaction. Gender analyses also showed similar patterns. Findings demonstrate a positive relationship between creative self-concept and life satisfaction among Indian students. The consistency across genders suggests that students who view themselves as creative and identify with creativity report greater life satisfaction, underscoring the universal role of creative self-beliefs in well-being. These results highlight the value of embedding creativity-enhancing practices in education, not only for academic achievement but also as a pathway to psychological fulfillment.
