Emotions and Emotion Regulation in Mathematics: New Insights Into Antecedents And Outcomes

Sun, April 12, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: Level 3, Avalon

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium explores the antecedents and outcomes of achievement emotions in mathematics across the educational lifespan. Drawing on diverse methods (including functional mediation, experimental, survey, and longitudinal designs) we examine how emotional experiences and regulation are shaped by individual, contextual, and motivational factors. The five papers span early childhood to teacher classrooms, investigating momentary joy in problem solving, emotion regulation strategies, the role of math emotions in STEM choices, dynamic self-concept-emotion links in future teachers, and how teacher and student mindsets foster emotionally supportive climates. Together, the studies illuminate pathways to educational equity by disrupting cycles of disengagement and anxiety. We align with AERA’s 2026 theme by reimagining learning environments that support emotional well-being and academic success.
