Creativity, often considered a key human resource, has been linked to various aspects of psychological well-being. This research aimed to examine how creativity is associated with 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 445 Indian students (318 males, 127 females) aged 15–19 participated in this correlational study. Participants completed the Short Scale of Creative Self (Karwowski et al., 2018), which measures creative self-efficacy and creative personal identity, along with the 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. In the total sample, creative self-efficacy, creative personal identity, and overall creativity were significantly correlated with life satisfaction. Gender analyses also showed similar patterns. Findings suggest a positive relationship between creative self-concept and life satisfaction among Indian students.
