Why is it important?
Emotion regulation affects both personal and academic development, and it may also impact students' creative development. The results of this study suggest that enhancing students' emotion regulation skills should be a goal of higher education, insofar as this would also foster their creative potential. Emotion skills training should aim, in particular, to build perseverance of effort.
Perspectives
We believe that this study makes a relevant contribution to the study of the relationship between creative self-beliefs and emotion regulation and that it has implications for designing strategies aimed at the integral development of university students.
