dc.description.abstractCreative thinking is a form of problem solving involving the production of multiple novel solutions to a given problem. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between the independent variables (facilitating anxiety, debilitating anxiety, and peer relations) and the dependent variable (creativity) in a convenient sample of 141 students in grades 10, 11, and 12 drawn from four Lebanese Armenian Secondary schools. Participants filled a battery of questionnaires which included demographics questionnaire (gender, age, grade level, nationality, academic achievement); Wallach and Kogan Creativity Test, the Alpert Haber Achievement Anxiety Test and the Index of Peers Relations. The main findings of this study were that academic achievement was found to be a significant positive correlate and predictor of the three measures of creative thinking (fluency, flexibility and originality). Moreover, facilitating anxiety was found to be a significant positive correlate with the three measures of creative thinking (fluency, flexibility and originality). In addition, peer relations was found to be a significant positive correlate and predictor of the two measures of creativity thinking (fluency and flexibility), and a significant positive predictor of the third measure of creativity (originality). Finally, female participants tended to have higher levels of creativity compared to males as measured by the flexibility scale only.
