Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of academic engagement on emotional creativity. The research method was quasi-experimental in two groups (experimental and control groups) with pre-test-post-test design. The population of the study was the sophomore female high school students in the academic year 2018-2019 in Qom. They were randomly placed in two equal groups. Both groups completed April (1999) Emotional Creativity Questionnaire as a pre-test, post-test. Data analysis was performed using covariance. The results showed that the educational intervention caused a significant change in emotional creativity and dimensions of readiness and innovation, so that it explains about 34.9% of emotional readiness, 35.3% of innovation and 37.5% of changes in emotional creativity (P=0.01). But in terms of effectiveness/originality, no significant difference was observed between the experimental and control groups. The results of this study has implications for improving academic characteristics, especially students'''' emotional creativity.
