This Master's dissertation is about the personal reflection of influence of the Other on the creative self. The author made an attempt to reveal the forms the influence of the significant Other on the creative self, represented in its reflection, and to characterize the conditions accompanying the process of this influence. We made a mixed method study of respondents, who perceive themselves as creative and uncreative. Based on a thematic data analysis, it is concluded that there are at least ten different reflexable forms of influence of the Other on the creative self, each of which has its own characteristics. In addition, using the methods of mathematical statistics, we found significant correlations between the data of quantitative and pre-coded qualitative techniques.
