La creatividad en jóvenes con trastorno de conducta disruptiva

Abstract

Youth with disruptive behavior disorders have low profiles of creativity which influences their cognitive processes of perceiving and understanding interpersonal relationships in society. Method: In this study of exploratory research, which involved 10 men with disruptive behavior disorder, 5 of them participated actively in the Comprehensive Intervention Program for Youth in Correctional Facilities. These 5 participants constituted the experimental group. All of the participants completed the test of Creative Imagination (Artola, Barraca, Mosteiro, Ancillo, Poveda, & Sanchez, 2012) to determine whether there were differences in their creative imagination profiles due to participation in the program. Results: Statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences between the results of participants in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusions: Comprehensive Intervention Programs for Youth in Correctional Facilities positively influence the profiles of creative imagination of young people with disruptive behavior disorders.
