Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the role of learning skills and social problem solving in the social creativity.The participants of the research were 46 girls & 133 boys from elementary students who were selected by random cluster sampling. The research tools were learning skills scale (Ahmadi, 2016), social problem solving inventory (D’Zurilla&Nezu, 2002) and social creativity task (Mouchiroud& Lubart, 2002).The results showed a significant relationship between social creativity with observation (r= 0.14), hypothesizing( r = 0.35), interpretation (r=0.11) and communication (r=0.21). There was a correlation between social creativity and constructive problem solving (r=0.34) and non-constructive problem solving (r=-0.28). The regression results showed that hypothesizing predicted 26% and hypothesizing and communication skills together predicted 32% of the variance of social creativity. Constructive problem solving explained 35% and constructive problem solving and non-constructive problem solving together explained 38% of the variance of social creativity. Finally, the results showed 30% of the variance of social creativity explained through hypothesizing, communication and constructive problem solving.
