Creative mindsets reflect people's views on whether creativity is malleable. While people with a growth mindset believe that creativity can be developed, people with a fixed mindset believe that creativity is innate and cannot be developed. This study aimed to establish the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Creative Mindsets Scale and to reveal its psychometric properties. A total of 741 adults from two different samples participated in the study (n1=198; n2=543). Confirmatory Factor Analysis confirmed the two-factor structure of the scale. There was a moderate negative significant correlation between the two scales. This result showed that the growth creative mindset and the fixed mindset are independent but related. The reliability coefficients were also found to be compatible with the original study and other adaptation studies. The results indicated that the Creative Mindsets Scale is a suitable measurement tool with sufficient validity and reliability that can be used to evaluate the growth and fixed creative mindset in adolescents and adults in studies to be conducted in Turkey.
