Subclaims¶

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q3 i? In the tripartite model, grades and positive affect were linked by significant positive reciprocal effects, and grades and negative affect by significant negative reciprocal effects. → Reinhard Pekrun 2022

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Tripartite RI-CLPM combining all seven emotions into higher-order positive and negative affect factors, estimated on the PALMA five-wave sample (N = 3,425). The article reports significant reciprocal effects in both directions for both affect factors.

"Finally, grades and positive affect were linked by significant positive reciprocal effects over time, and grades and negative affect were linked by significant negative reciprocal effects."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Achievement Emotions — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Within persons, grades negatively predict subsequent anger and hopelessness, and anger, anxiety, boredom, and hopelessness negatively predict subsequent grades — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
Within persons, better-than-usual math grades positively predict subsequent enjoyment and pride, and enjoyment and pride positively predict subsequent grades — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
Within-person deviations of enjoyment and pride correlate positively with grade deviations (r = .12 to .55), and negative-emotion deviations correlate negatively (r = −.17 to −.44) — related
