The objectives of study were – (1) To study the effectiveness of thinking Training Program in terms of verbal creativity and its dimensions and reaction towards thinking training program (TTP). (2) To compare the adjusted mean scores of verbal creativity and its dimensions separately of TTP group with conventional method group by considering pre-test scores of respective variables and intelligence as covariates. (3) To compare the adjusted mean scores of risk taking capacity of TTP group with conventional method group by considering intelligence as covariate. (4) To study the effect of treatment, intelligence and their interaction on verbal creativity as covariate separately. (5) To study the effect of treatment, intelligence and their interaction on risk taking capacity and on verbal creativity and its dimensions separately of the students. (6) To study the effect of treatment, sex and their interaction on risk taking capacity of students. (7) To study the effect of treatment, tolerance of ambiguity and their interaction on verbal creativity and its dimensions students by taking pre-test scores as covariate. (8) To study the effect of treatment, tolerance of ambiguity and their interaction on risk-taking capacity of the students. (9) To study the effect of treatment, self-confidence and their interaction on verbal creativity and its dimensions of students by taking pre stage scores as covariate. (10) To study the effect of treatment, self confidence and their interaction on risk taking capacity of students. (11) To study the effect of treatment, dependency and their interaction on verbal creativity and its respective dimensions of students by taking pre stage scores as covariate. (12) To study the effect of treatment, dependency and their interaction on risk taking capacity of the students. (13) To study the change in reaction towards TTP of the students treated through thinking training program. 

The hypotheses of study were – (1) The pretest mean scores of verbal creativity and its dimensions separately are not significantly different from post test mean scores of verbal creativity and its dimensions of TTP group. (2) The adjusted mean scores of verbal creativity and its dimensions separately of TTP group are not significantly different from those of conventional method group when pre test score of respective variable and intelligence are considered as covariates. (3) The adjusted mean scores of risk taking capacity of TTP group are not significantly different from those of conventional method group when intelligence is considered as covariate. (4) There is no significant effect of treatment, intelligence and their interaction on verbal creativity and its dimensions separately of students when respective pre test scores of creativity is taken as covariate. (5) There is no significant effect of treatment, intelligence and there interaction on risk taking capacity of students. (6) There is no significant effect of treatment, sex and their interaction on verbal creativity and its dimensions separately of students by taking respective pre creativity scores as covariate. (7) There is no significant effect of treatment, sex and their interaction (b) treatment, tolerance of ambiguity and their interaction (c) treatment, dependency and their interaction on risk taking capacity of students separately. (8) There is no significant effect of treatment, tolerance of ambiguity and their interaction on verbal creativity and its dimensions separately of students when respective pre-test scores of creativity were taken as covariate. (9) There is no significant effect of treatment, self-confidence and their interaction on verbal creativity of students when pre-verbal creativity is taken as covariate. (10) There is no significant effect of treatment, dependency and their interaction on verbal creativity and its various, dimensions separately of students when respective pre-test scores of creativity taken as covariate. (11) The mean scores of reaction towards TTP before and after the treatment. 

The sample of the study comprised of 75 students of class X of South Indian Cultural Association School, Indore affiliated to CBSE, New Delhi. Treatment were assigned to randomly selected two groups named experimental group and conventional method group. TTP consisted of special exercises based on CoRT strategy. Treatment was continued 1,320 minutes, at the rate of 30 to 540 minutes per day. 

For measuring the variables tool used were – Passi Test of Creativity, Bhawalkar’ (1992) Scale for Risk Taking, Group Test of General Mental Ability by Jalota, Ambiguity Scale by Bhawalkar (1992), Self-confidence Scale by Bhawalkar (1992), Pre-Adolescence Dependency Scale, and Reaction Towards Thinking Training Program (RTTP) developed by investigator.

Data were analyzed by computing mean, SD, CV and ANCOVA. 

The findings of study were – TTP was found to enhance significantly verbal creativity and its dimensions. (2) Students were found to have favorable reaction towards thinking training program. (3) TTP was found to be significantly superior to conventional method in facilitating verbal creativity and its dimensions. (4) Almost all dimensions of verbal creativity were found to be independent of the interaction between treatment and intelligence, treatment and sex, treatment and tolerance of ambiguity, treatment and self-confidence, and treatment and dependency separately. (5) Females were found to possess significantly higher verbal flexibility as compared to males. (6) TTP was found to enhance verbal flexibility more amongst female students than male students. (7) Intelligence, sex, tolerance of ambiguity, self-confidence and dependency separately did not influence significantly verbal creativity and almost all its dimensions. (8) Thinking Training Program (TTP) and Conventional Method were found to enhance risk taking capacity to the same extent. (9) Risk taking capacity was found to be independent of intelligence, sex, tolerance of ambiguity, self-confidence and dependency separately. (10) Risk taking capacity was found to be independent of interaction between treatment and intelligence, treatment and tolerance of ambiguity, treatment and self-confidence, and treatment and dependency separately. (11) TTP promoted the risk taking capacity amongst males and females to the same extent. On the other hand males of conventional method were found to possess higher risk taking capacity in comparison to females. (12) Subject treated through TTP were found to express to the same extent favorable reaction towards this program, at both points of time indicating no significant change in Reaction Towards Thinking Training Program.
