Correlation analysis indicated that creativity disposition was significantly positively correlated with psychological resilience and positive affect, and significantly negatively correlated with negative affect; psychological resilience was significantly positively correlated with positive affect and significantly negatively correlated with negative affect. Furthermore, cross-sectional mediation analysis revealed that while psychological resilience showed a statistically significant indirect association between creativity disposition and negative affect, the absolute magnitude of this indirect estimate was small, with an unstandardized indirect coefficient of\n                      <jats:italic>B<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f\u22120.106, Bootstrap 95% CI [\u22120.136, \u22120.078].
