AB  - A peer-reviewed, open-access intervention study from the Department of Digital Multimedia Design at China University of Technology, Taipei. A twelve-week mixed-methods action-research design in a Storytelling and Scriptwriting course (60 students) paired a Creative Problem Solving instructional sequence with six scaffolded generative AI assignments, including a text-to-image resemiotisation task. Quantitative results showed significant gains in narrative cognition and affective resilience; qualitative data recorded reduced blank-page anxiety and greater willingness to revise. The study positions generative AI as a conditional amplifier inside a reflective CPS framework rather than a replacement for narrative reasoning.
