Abstract

As one of the important competencies in the 21st century, creativity becomes an asset for a teenager to grow and compete to become a superior generation. Gender differences are often seen as an important indicator in determining what interventions are appropriate to improve these competencies. This study aims to see whether there are differences in verbal creativity between boys and girls in a group of teenagers who are the subjects of this study. A total of 172 teenagers filled out a verbal creativity test (TKV) which consisted of 6 subtests and measured aspects of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration of a person. A two-way analysis of variance was carried out to answer the research objectives. The results showed that men obtained better test results than women from the average score obtained in filling out the test. Meanwhile, the results of the two-way analysis showed that there were significant differences between men and women in the acquisition of verbal creativity in this study. Suggestions and limitations of the research will be presented further in this paper.
