This study explored the effects of self-efficacy on creativity among college students and the differential analysis of self-efficacy and creativity by different demographic variables. By convenient sampling, 1,100 college students from 7 universities in Jilin Province, China were selected as research objects, and electronic questionnaires were distributed for testing, and a total of 1,046 valid questionnaires were collected. Research tools included the Creative Thinking Scale, the General Self-efficacy Scale. Data analysis was performed using independent sample t-tests, one-way ANOVA, descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation model fit assays. The results showed significant differences in creativity in gender, grade, specialty, self-efficacy, higher boys than girls, and no significant differences in grade and major. Self-efficacy positively predicts creativity. Improving the self-efficiency of college students can improve the creativity of college students, so as to provide reference for their creativity training and the improvement of their quality.
