The research group comprised 93 female and 107 male (age = 21.4607 ± 1.8792), 200 in total, studying at the Physical Education and Sports School of Karamanoglu Mehmet Bey University. ‘A Scale of Achievement Focused Motivation’ and ‘Adaptation-Innovation Inventory’ were applied to the students who participated in the research. In the analysis and assessment of the data, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, Kruskal–Wallis H test, Mann–Whitney U test and Correlation test were used and significance was taken as P < 0.05. As a result of the study, there is no significant difference between the levels of creativity and sub-dimensions of motivation (internal and external action, setting higher goals and self-conscious) according to gender, parent’s educational background and doing sports actively which are the variables of participating students.
