We conducted an experimental study with the aim of testing certain conditions underwhich engaging with cultural diversity increases creativity among schoolchildren. Resultsobtained from a sample of 149 Italian elementary schoolchildren revealed that engagingwith cultural diversity, operationalized by asking Italian children to work with immigrantchildren on a cooperative task, led to an increase in creativity. Furthermore, we found thatthis effect was only present when a communal but not a divisional mindset (emphasiz-ing group distinctions) was present. We discuss theoretical and practical implications off indings.
