Abstract

Aims: To assess the effect of ‘Six Thinking Hats’ training on creativity among adolescents. Study Design: Pre-post experimental control group design was used. Methodology: 200 participants were included (50 control group; 150 experimental group; age range 16-18 years) from different schools of Patiala and Sangrur using incidental sampling. The participants of the experimental group were given intervention over 4 weeks. Results: The results revealed that participants in the experimental group exhibited higher levels of creativity (M = 30.62) compared to the control group (M = 25.24). The intervention had a significant effect on creativity, as indicated by the statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups [F (1, 198) = 42.11, P< .001]. Conclusion: The ‘Six Thinking Hats’ training yielded a statistically significant enhancement in creativity among the participants in the experimental group.
