66.023 - "What Is This Feeling?" The Wickedly Complex Workings of Achievement Emotions in Diverse Learning Situations

Sun, April 19, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Sheraton, Floor: Ballroom Level, Sheraton I

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

We consider recent advances in understanding the complex ways that achievement emotions function, with a particular focus on their antecedents. A diverse group of international scholars will present various theoretical and methodological perspectives on how precursors influence the course of emotions, examining emotions at multiple levels and addressing various learning settings: K-12, college student, and adult learner samples; in traditional classroom contexts, small-group learning, and online environments; across several domains. Study designs include quantitative methods, integrating inter- and intraindividual analyses, structural equation modeling, or hidden Markov analysis, and qualitative methods to explore students’ self-reported appraisals. Our task is to discuss theoretical and empirical contributions to achievement emotion theory, with the goal of untangling the complex processes associated with achievement emotions.
