Aims: The aims of this paper were to examine differences in creative behavior, self-assessment of creativity and daydreaming between students of the University Department of Health Studies and students of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split, and to examine the possibility of predicting creative behavior based on study type. Methods: Altogether 121 students partcipated in this study, of which 80 were the students of the University Department of Health Studies and 41 were the students of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The research was conducted by the survey method during January 2020. The measuring instruments used to prove the hypotheses and specific objectives are the validated survey questionnaires as follows: the General Data Questionnaire, the Maladaptive Daydreaming Questionnaire, the Creative Behavior Questionnaire, the Creative Behavior Questions, the Creativity Self-Assessment Questionnaire and the Openness Questionnaire. Resultates: The research found that there was no gender and age differences among the respondents according to the faculty that students attend. The results showed that students of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences had higher levels of creative behavior, higher self-assessment of creativity and more daydreaming compared to students of the University Department of Health Studies. Furher, encouriging creativity by authorities predicted higher levels of creative behavior. Conclusiones: Creative behavior and a tendency to daydream in students was associated with the faculty that students attend, so students were more or less inclined to a more pragmatic approach to life, and thus less or more daydreamers, and consequently, more or less creative in daily life. Thus, for students who have higher levels of creative behavior, higher self-assessment of creativity, more daily daydreaming and greater openness to experiences, a higher level of creative behavior has been predicted. The conducted research is unique and the results of the research could improve the knowledge about the tendency of IV daydreaming in students and the association between daydreaming and creative behavior. However, the limitation of the research is that it is limited to students and that the respondents are homogenous by age, which could affect the results of the research. In addition, the use of self-assessment questionnaires can also affect the objectivity of the respondents
