This study sought to examine the roles of creativity and security in the relationship between adults’ subjective socioeconomic status and psychological well-being. A total of 556 urban adults aged between 18 and 60 participated in this study. They anonymously completed questionnaires assessing subjective socioeconomic status, psychological well-being, creativity, and security. The results showed that: 1) After controlling for age and objective socioeconomic status, subjective socioeconomic status predicted psychological well-being. 2) Creativity mediated the relationships between socioeconomic status and psychological well-being. 3) Security moderated this mediating path through creativity. Specifically, the association between subjective socioeconomic status and creativity was stronger for adults with higher security. Thus, there are both mediating and moderating factors influencing the relationship between adults’ subjective socioeconomic status and psychological well-being.
