Description The present investigation was conducted purposively in Haryana and Delhi state. Two
hundred adolescents, i.e., 100 boys and 100 girls in the age group of 13 to 19 years were selected
randomly from the selected institute of Faridabad (Haryana) and institute of Bawana (Delhi). The
thinking skills of adolescents were assessed by Life Skills Assessment Scale (LSAS) developed by
Nair et.al (2010). Beck depression inventory (BDI-II) developed by Beck et.al (1966) was used to
estimating depression among adolescents. Test anxiety scale (TAS) developed by Sharma (1978) was
used to measure the anxiety level of adolescents. A life stress scale developed by Aggarwal and Naidu
(1986) was used to study the level of stress among adolescents. After assessing the existing thinking
skills, adolescents were further assigned to experimental group (50) and control group (50) from each
Institute. Intervention package on thinking skills was developed and imparted to the experimental
group adolescents. Results of the study highlighted that institutionalized adolescents had average level
of thinking skills in all four dimensions i.e. problem solving, creative thinking, decision making and
critical thinking skills. Age, gender and relationship with peers were found significantly associated
with thinking skills among adolescents. Majority of adolescents had moderate level of depression,
anxiety and stress and exhibited negative and significant correlation with all dimensions of thinking
skills. Intervention program enhanced the thinking skills of institutionalized adolescents to a great
extent. A significant improvement was found in the mean scores of adolescents after imparting
intervention program. The study demands to get aware the parents, teachers and others who are
concerned with adolescents to explore and enhance their thinking skills.
