Abstract: In a rapidly evolving world, grit and creativity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are crucial attributes for the future development of adolescent students. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying this relationship remains unclear. This study presents a new theoretical framework that explores how STEM‐specific grit influences STEM creativity. It also examines the roles of positive psychological traits—such as creative self‐efficacy and future time perspective in the STEM domain. A total of 1263 Chinese adolescents in grades 7 to 9 completed measurements of STEM‐specific grit, creative self‐efficacy, STEM creativity, and future time perspective. The results indicated that STEM‐specific grit directly and positively predicted STEM creativity. Furthermore, STEM‐specific creative self‐efficacy was found to positively mediate the relationship between STEM‐specific grit and STEM creativity. Moreover, future time perspective moderated the first half of the mediation model. The findings provide educational guidelines and suggestions for enhancing STEM creativity among adolescent students. Summary: Adolescent students' STEM‐specific grit, STEM‐specific creative self‐efficacy, future time perspective, and STEM creativity are positively related.STEM‐specific grit has a significant positive effect on STEM creativity among Chinese adolescent students.STEM‐specific creative self‐efficacy serves as a mediator in the relationship between STEM‐specific grit and STEM creativity, indirectly enhancing the impact of STEM‐specific grit on STEM creativity.Future time perspective can moderate the relationship between STEM‐specific grit and STEM creativity by influencing STEM‐specific creative self‐efficacy among Chinese adolescent students.
