Objective. Based on empirical research to study the nature of the relationship between cultural congruence and divergent thinking of people of puberty age. Results. It has been established that the characteristics of cultural congruence and divergent thinking in adolescents are inversely related, which confirms the validity of the theory of the ambivalence of these characteristics.
