Descrição
Resumo:This study investigated the differences in creative thinking abilities among 25 institutionalized children and 30 non-institutionalized children, being 23 male and 30 female. These children answered a verbal test of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (Torrance, 1974) and the Test of Creative Thinking – Divergent Production (Urban & Jellen, 1996). No significant differences were observed among male and female children in the creative thinking abilities. However, a significant difference between gender was observed in the Test of Creative Thinking – Divergent Production, to the advantage of the male gender as far as an interaction between gender and institutionalization in the same test. It was observed also, a positive relation among the scores of the tests.
