Abstract
The current study investigates the relationship between professional skepticism
and students' thinking styles in Lithuania. One hundered and nine (109) business majors (management and business adminstration) and other majors (Philology and Advertising) students were surveyed. Sternberg et al. (2007) Inventory Revised II was completed by participants to identify their type I (creativity-generating) and type II (norm-favouring) thinking styles to test the relationship. Hurtt's (2010) scale was used to measure professional skepticism. The results show that type II (norm-favoring) thinking styles are associated with professional skepticism. In addition, there was no difference between business students and students with other majors with respect to professional skepticism. To our knowledge, it is the
first study that tests the relationship between professional skepticism and thinking styles using business students and students with other majors in Lithuania.
