Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of interpersonal creative problem-solving training programs on the creativity and social skills of labor children. The design of the study was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest and a control group. Using random sampling, 20 labor boys aged 7 to 10 years were selected and assigned as experimental and control groups (each group consisted of 10 people). The experimental group participated in a creative problem-solving program for 15 sessions (70-90 minutes each session). Forms A and B of the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) and Teacher’s form of Gresham and Elliot questionnaire of social skills (SSRS) were used as the measurement tools. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS software 26 and analysis of the covariance. The findings showed significant differences between the experimental and the control group in creativity and social skills. Accordingly, a creative problem-solving program is recommended as a preventive program for labor children.
