45.074 - Patterns and Associations Between Intra-Individual and Interindividual Experiences of Academic Emotions and Motivation

Sun, April 7, 9:55 to 11:25am, Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, Floor: Mezzanine, York

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Students experience a variety of positive and negative emotions in different classrooms situations (Pekrun, Goetz, Titz, & Perry, 2002), and both the control-value theory of academic emotions (CVT; Pekrun et al., 2002) and expectancy-value theory of motivation (EVT; Eccles & Wigfield, 2002) suggest that academic emotions often co-occur with students’ task values in the classroom. Similarly, according to the flow theory (e.g., Csikszentmihalyi & Schneider, 2000), flow states (e.g., experiences of high skills and challenge) are often accompanied by high positive (e.g., enjoyment) and low negative (e.g., apathy) emotions. Moreover, even less studied, a variety of academic emotions may co-occur in different learning situations, and show associations with situational task values, expectations, and academic goal hierarchies and competition of goals.
