Data were analyzed using K-S, regression and multiple regressions.

Findings indicate a positive and significant effect of family performance on creativity (R2= 0.15, β= 0.39) and intelligence beliefs on creativity (R2= 0.27, β= 0.52) and family performance on intelligence beliefs (R2= 0.03, β= 0.18). Based on the results of the multivariate regression analysis, the value of R2 showed that about 35% of the changes in the student's score of creativity were explained by family performance and intelligence beliefs. Intelligence beliefs (with β =0.460) had the highest standardized regression coefficient effect on the creativity
