Forschungsartikel (Zeitschrift) | Peer reviewedThis study explores long-term stability of creative self-concept variables, which have gained attention in the past decade, but lacked specific longitudinal investigation and strong analytical decisions. We conducted two higher-order confirmatory factor analyses based on latent state-trait theory to investigate the underlying latent structure of two constructs—creative personal identity and creative self-efficacy—across 7 years. Our results demonstrated a satisfying model fit with high standardized latent state and trait loadings. Both constructs showed greater trait than state influences, and more than half of the state variance at each time point was explained by interindividual trait differences, leading to the conclusion that creative self-concept variables are relatively stable yet malleable trait-like constructs.
