الملخص EN

The purpose of this study was to invistigate the level of mental rigidity among elementary and secondary students, and its relation to problem solving, academic achievement, and gender.

To achieve this aim two scales applied at a sample consisting of (240) students (120 males, 120 females).

The results indicated that (24, 2%) of these students showed a high level of rigidity, but (47, 1%) of them showed a low level of rigidity.

In addition, there was no relationship between rigidity and problem solving.

Also, the results showed that there was no significant difference in level of mental rigidity due to gender and educational stage variables, while there was a significant difference in the academic achievement scores due to the level of mental rigidity in favor of students of low mental rigidity level.
