Villavicencio, Felicidad T.; Bernardo, Allan B. I. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2013
Background: Research has shown how academic emotions are related to achievement and to cognitive/motivational variables that promote achievement. Mediated models have been proposed to account for the relationships among academic emotions, cognitive/motivational variables, and achievement, and research has supported such mediated models,…
