Abstract :

The present study intended to explore the measurement of attachment, self-esteem and creativity in twins and non-twins siblings. The sampling technique used in this study was convenient sampling. The sample for the present study comprised of (N = 225) including twins (n=87) and non-twins (n=138). The current research was based on correlational survey research design. The scales used in the present research were sibling relationship questionnaire SRQ scale (Furman & Buhrmester, 1985), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965) and Creative self-efficacy scale (Karwowski 2012) were used to measure attachment, self-esteem and creativity. Multiple statistical analyses were conducted, including descriptive statistics, reliability analyses, regression analysis, T-test and Pearson correlation of the variable. Psychometric properties of the scales were satisfactory. Pearson product moment correlation indicated that attachment has significant positive correlation with creativity and is not correlated with self-esteem. Furthermore, it also indicated that creativity has significant positive correlation with self-esteem. Linear regression analysis indicated that attachment positively predicts creativity. The results of the present study will be constructive for health psychologists, school psychologists, counselors and educational institutes.
