title: [Leonardo in the river--creative behavior of students in a salutogenic perspective].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The presented research is aimed at showing mutual interdependencies between the sense of coherence and creative behaviour in students. This is another attempt at explaining relationships between health and creativity, which were previously usually narrowed down to psychic health. Therefore, the basic problem of the presented research concerns health and creativity at large, without limiting either the first or the second element, for example to the situation of renowned creators like Leonardo da Vinci quoted in the title.
  
  
  METHODS
  The research covered a group of 50 students. The empirical material was collected with the A. Antonovski's Life Orientation Questionnaire and S. Popek's Creative Behaviour Questionnaire.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results of the research allows the following findings, inter alla: There is a weak positive relationship between the creative attitude of the researched students and the sense of coherence. One can say that creative behaviour in students only slightly affect health. The strongest positive correlation was found between non-conformist as an element in the creative attitude and the sense of manageability. The re-creative attitude, including algorithmic and conformist behaviour indicates clear, systematically negative relationship with the sense of coherence, thus not being conductive to health.
