Abstract
A creative self-efficacy (CSE) course, I Believe I'm Creative, was developed and imparted through the emotionalized learning experiences (ELE) format to advance academic thriving and academic engagement among Pakistan's college students. This three-wave study comprised 166 participants randomly assigned to an experimental (n = 83) and a wait-list control (n = 83) group. Growth curve analysis provided a comprehensive view of the development of the study variables in the two groups. Results demonstrated that CSE, academic thriving, and academic engagement increased at a greater rate at each time interval in the experimental group than in the control group. Further, results indicated that there were significant differences in participants' initial scores (intercepts) and growth trajectories (slopes) pertaining to the three variables. Also, students in the two groups who had low initial scores on the three variables had a faster increase in linear growth than those with high initial scores over time.
