Let R be a *-ring with the center Z(R) and N be the set of nonnegative integers.In this paper,it is shown that if R contains a nontrivial self-adjoint idempotent which admits a generalized *-Lie higher derivable mapping △ ={Gn }n∈N associated with a *-Lie higher derivable mapping (S) ={Ln}n∈N,then for any X,Y in R and for each n in N there exists an element ZX,Y (depending on X and Y) in the center Z(R) such that Gn(X + Y) =Gn(X) + Gn(Y) + ZX,Y.
