Authors

Two studies are reported that investigate the structure of emotions in learning situations at the university. A mapping sentence relates the three facets of 'learning situation' (Facet A: in class, independent studies alone, in groups, examinations), 'type of emotion' (Facet B: current, retrospective, prospective), and 'valence of emotion' (Facet C: positive, negative) to an evaluation range facet. Participants evaluated the degree to which a specific emotion type with a specific valence typically arises in a specific learning situation. In both studies, Facets A and C yield clear regional patterns in Smallest Space Analyses, whereas Facet B emerges only for positive emotions.
