In this study, the relationship among the group creativity, empathy, and scientific inquiry ability of elementary school students were investigated. For this purpose, average scores and standard deviations of the group creativity problem solving, empathy, and scientific inquiry ability inventory were calculated and their correlation was analysed with 5th and 6th grade elementary school students as the subjects. In addition, a stepwise multiple regression analysis was executed to investigate the explanation power of the remaining variables of the group creativity problem solving. The results showed that the group creativity problem solving had significant correlation with cognitive empathy, affective empathy, and integrated inquiry ability of scientific inquiry ability. The stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that the empathic concern of affective empathy, perspective taking of cognitive empathy, and empathic awakening of affective empathy significantly predicted the group creativity problem solving. The educational implications were also discussed.
