Abstract

Based on Pekrun’s control-value theory (2006), the present study explored the relations between cognitive appraisal antecedents (control, value, and control-value interaction) and achievement emotions (enjoyment, pride, anxiety, shame, and boredom) using an intraindividual approach in trait-based data (questionnaire) and state-based data (experience sampling method). 901 German students from grade 8 (Mage = 14.5 years) and 11 (Mage = 17.6 years) of the upper track filled out a questionnaire. Additionally, state data were assessed through the use of the experience sampling method from a subsample of these students (n = 122) for a period of two weeks. Multilevel analyses showed that the assumptions of the control-value theory are broadly applicable to our intraindividual approach. Practical implications are outlined.
