The present study explored the effects of a training to enhance creativity and creative self-efficacy in 34 Italian children, aged between 8 and 10 years and divided in two groups: Group1 (training) and Group2 (no training). Test of Divergent Thinking and the Creative Self-efficacy Scale were modified for Italian children. After training, Group1 increased inflexibility, elaboration and title production; and Group2increased in titles production; all children showed higher levels of self-efficacy than before training. After training, positive relationships between creative self-efficacy, elaboration and titles production emerged for Group1.

Test of Divergent Thinking and the Creative Self-efficacy Scale were modified for Italian children. After training, Group1 increased inflexibility, elaboration and title production; and Group2increased in titles production; all children showed higher levels of self-efficacy than before training.
