Adolescent Divergent Thinking A Cross-Cultural Perspective
1984
A cross-cultural replication study was conducted to assess divergent thinking in preadolescents and adolescents. Participants (N = 119) were Cantonese-speaking Chinese residents of Hong Kong, recruited through primary and secondary schools. Participants responded in writing to a divergent thinking assessor based on auditory stimuli. Scores were obtained for fluency, flexibility, and originality of thought. Adolescents scored significantly higher than preadolescents on all three divergent thinking measures. A MANOVA test indicated an overall absence of main effects for sex and sex-by-age-group interactions. Results are discussed in comparison to a similar study previously conducted with American adolescents.
