Abstract
The present study examined the interaction of dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) and parenting style on creativity. Participants were 427 Chinese undergraduate students from a project designed to identify the genetic basis of creativity. The result showed that there was significant interaction between DRD2 and authoritarian parenting when predicting creativity. Specifically, it was found that the negative effect of mother/father authoritarianism on creativity was only present when individuals were carriers of DRD2 Del (rs1799732) allele. No significant interaction of DRD2 and authoritative or permissive parenting was found. In conclusion, the present study provides the first preliminary evidence for the effect of DRD2-parenting interaction on creativity; future studies are warranted to validate these findings.
