Abstract
Dogmatism, locus of control and creative thinking were studied in Israel in children aged 12 to 14 yr. and educated in the Soviet Union (N = 45), in the United States ( N = 44), and in Israel ( N = 48). Measures were the Rokeach Dogmatism Scale, the Tel-Aviv Locus of Control Scale and an adapted version of the Wallach and Kogan Creativity Battery. American and Israeli children were more open-minded, more internal in feelings of locus of control, and more creative in their thinking than Soviet children. Findings were explained in terms of differences in socialization within Soviet and Western society.Keywords
